WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – Wausau is looking into plans to further develop its riverfront north of Bridge Street.
City Council approved a resolution Tuesday by a 7-4 vote to start the process of hiring a consulting firm that would help the city make plans for what could be developed on city-owned lots.
The area they’re looking to target is north of Bridge Street and west of 6th Street, which includes the site of the former Wausau Water Treatment Facility.
Wausau plans to spend up to $100,000 on that consulting firm, but District 11 alder Chad Henke pointed out the city is not obligated to spend that money if they don’t find a firm whose vision aligns with their goals.
This comes just under a year after plans for a proposed concert venue for the neighborhood near Athletic Park were scrapped.
