STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – Change is coming to Division Street in Stevens Point. Both the Point Motel and Maytag Laundry will be torn down.

According to the Point Plover Metro Wire, new housing will go onto the land.

“The economic impact is exponential, when you have people living down there, when people are able to walk and bike down there easier, the economic benefits are pretty obvious,” Stevens Point mayor Mike Wiza told WAOW-TV.

Wiza adds that the public can expect significant progress by this time in 2022.
