Ballpark Adjacent To South Milwaukee?

The Oak Creek property previously eyed for a U.S. Postal Service facility — located across Nicholson Avenue from South Milwaukee — is now a “leading alternative” for a Frontier League baseball stadium.

That’s according to this story from the Business Journal. From it …

The Rock Sports Complex CEO Mike Zimmerman said his top alternate location for a proposed Frontier League baseball stadium is the U.S. Postal Service site in Oak Creek.

That is emerging as Plan B if Zimmerman cannot come to financing terms with Franklin officials, he said. Discussions with Franklin are ongoing, Zimmerman said.

However, facing a tight deadline and hoping to start construction next month, Zimmerman said he is exploring other options. On Friday, he toured the Post Office’s 62-acre property at the southwest corner of East College and South Pennsylvania avenues in Oak Creek. He also had a “quick” conference call with Oak Creek Mayor Steve Scaffidi.

“We walked the site Friday afternoon,” he said. “I really like the site. It think it’s in a really interesting area.”

I’ll keep you posted.
