A long-running goal of officials in Pleasant Prairie is to create a village center: A downtown-like location that merges commerce, connectivity, culture and recreation in a manner and style unique to Pleasant Prairie.
A recent purchase by the village of acreage near village hall has given momentum to the idea.
A village-hired consultant will launch what’s expected to be a months-long planning process Thursday evening. Residents will be asked to sign up to serve on various idea-generating committees.
Consultant Todd Streeter says the goal is to create an area that'll become the "heartbeat" of the community.
Thursday evening’s meeting will be held at the RecPlex starting with a social hour at five. The program begins at six.
