(WGTD)---After a string of relatively light agendas this year, Kenosha’s Plan Commission will take up a flurry of building projects when it meets Thursday. They include two apartment complexes, a pair of fast-food restaurants, a new retail store and a new industry. In addition, the commission will continue its review of several other projects that had been previously announced.
The largest of the two apartment complexes—a 312-unit development—is slated to go up just southeast of Indian Trail High School off of 60th St. The commission will take a look at some conceptual plans. A 50-unit development is earmarked for a site off of Washington Rd. just north of McDonald’s. In addition to these two developments, work is continuing on a large complex planned for a site west of Snap-On. The commission is to consider creating a tax incremental financing district that would enable the city to acquire a detention pond adjacent to the site for $6.5 million.
The two fast-food restaurants are Taco John’s, and Cane’s—a restaurant that specializes in chicken fingers. Developers are proposing to build the restaurants adjacent to each other on land currently occupied by a vacant office building off of Highway 50 and just east of Dickow Cyzak Tile and Carpet One.
The new retail establishment---Harbor Freight Tools---would occupy part of the former Gordman’s outlet in Southport Plaza. Commissioners will consider façade changes there to facilitate the new store.
And the commission will review plans to allow for the manufacture of fertilizer in an existing building in the Business Park of Kenosha.
