KAUKAUNA — While city residents wait to see if Walmart will build a store in the Commerce Crossing business park, other businesses are moving forward on development plans.
City planning director Bob Jakel told WHBY Radio that Goodwill wants to open a store at Commerce Crossing, and a developer is looking to build a strip mall.
Jakel says Goodwill is willing to pay the city’s asking price, and the non-profit would make payments in lieu of taxes in the tax incremental financing district.
He says it’s typical for there to be interest around a potential big-box development.
Juniper Partners signed a 90-day agreement nearly three months ago, to study a 15-acre site in Commerce Crossing and that agreement is up in early February, however the company won’t say if Walmart is their client on the project.
The plans call for a retail building that’s at least 185,000 square feet and worth at least $15 million, according to WHBY.
Back in December, the Kaukauna City Council approved a letter of intent from Berkers Family Dentistry Doctors to build on a portion of the old dog track property.
The building would be about 6,000 square feet and could be built as early as Summer 2017.
