City planners have three years to fit an underground parking garage, hotel, public market and office buildings across the street from a new high-speed rail station in downtown Madison.
“Everything will not be done by the time the train arrives,” said Common Council President Mark Clear.
“That’s just not realistic. But parking will have to be [...]

In a decision filed Tuesday, the District 3 Court of Appeals ruled the St. Croix Valley Home Builders Association improperly challenged Oak Grove’s ordinance because the association did not first [...]

Neighborhood enthusiasm over the Forest County Potawatomi Community’s plan to develop an 11-acre Milwaukee site is mixing with skepticism over the still-unknown details.
Potawatomi planners have presented a rough outline of their development proposal to spend an estimated $28.96 million renovating seven of the 10 buildings on the Concordia Trust Property southeast of the [...]

Elected municipal leaders, not an appointed commission, should determine where and how cities grow in Wisconsin, according to Verona’s director of planning and development.
“That decision, for me, is black and white,” Bruce Sylvester said. “By law, elected officials at the municipal level make growth decisions. But now people are challenging that.”
Those people, Sylvester [...]

A developer’s interest in selling land for a walkway connecting lakes Mendota and Monona along the east bank of the Yahara River in Madison leaves Karolyn Bebee as the lone holdout.
She didn’t realize she was holding out.
“I guess I’d better read my mail,” she said. “There’s so much junk mail. It’s all such [...]

There are no guarantees Racine will turn a profit, or even break even, if the city borrows $14.2 million to drum up redevelopment of a riverside property.
Risky though it may be, the concept is on the table as city officials search for roughly $4 million for streets, sewer and cleanup work on the [...]

Forgiving $29,900 in back taxes on a contaminated half-acre in West Allis is the only way Milwaukee County can avoid a $150,000 demolition bill for a building on the land.
The building at 1928 S. 62nd St. was a Plating Engineering Co. plant in which West Allis in 2006 discovered 30 chemical vats, many of [...]

The chocolate brown color of Black Earth Creek near Mazomanie on Sunday prompted Village Trustee Mike Krawczyk to drive upstream toward Cross Plains to fish for trout.
As the Mazomanie representative headed toward clearer water, he said, he surveyed the farmland separating his village and Cross Plains. Krawczyk said silt, fertilizer and pesticides run [...]

Minneapolis — Once upon a time, a vacant, city-owned L-shaped site near the Guthrie Theater was slated for condos.
But the market fell apart, and the developer walked away in 2007.
Since then, the so-called Liner Parcel site has been little more than a bare patch of land in an area largely surrounded [...]
