S. 51st St. ARRA Project – W. Grange Ave. to
W. Loomis Rd. (STH 36)
The Village of Greendale and the City of Greenfield jointly applied for and received federal stimulus funding to assist with the reconstruction of S. 51st St. between W. Grange Ave. and W. Loomis Rd. (STH 36).
Beginning in the spring of 2010, S. 51st St. will be reconstructed with two driving lanes, bicycle accommodations, curb and gutter, drainage improvements, sidewalk improvements, enhanced signing and pavement markings. The roadway will be closed to thru traffic during construction and allow for local property access. Project work is anticipated to be completed in the fall of 2010.
W. College Ave. (CTH ZZ) ARRA Project – W. Loomis Rd (STH 36) to S. 51st St.
Milwaukee County has received federal stimulus monies for the rehabilitation of W. College Ave (CTH ZZ) from W. Loomis Rd. (STH 36) to S. 51st St.
Beginning in the spring of 2010, W. College Ave will be rehabilitated with new asphalt pavement (2 lane road), curb and gutter in some locations, storm water management ponds, drainage improvements, bicycle accommodations, school loading zone improvements, pavement markings, and signage. The roadway will be constructed in segments to allow for local traffic to access neighborhoods and the College Park elementary school property.
Residents of the "R" Section will always have access to and from their homes and emergency access to the subdivision will not be compromised. Residents of the Riverdale/Radburn area will need to use the Loomis Rd. intersection during the western phase of the project. Residents of the "R' section streets that intersect Root River Dr. will always have the option of using the Russell Dr. exit to S. 51st. St. and at least one of the Root River Dr. exits onto W. College Ave. Residents who live in the lower "O" Section will need to use W. Ramsey Ave. to leave the subdivision during the western phase of the project.Village staff will work closely with Milwaukee County (the owner of W. College Ave.) and all contractors to minimize any inconvenience to the public.

Proposed Tax Incremental Financing District
February 01, 2010 | 12:14 PM Posted by the
Village
Manager
The Village is considering the creation of a Tax
Incremental Financing District to promote
redevelopment at Southridge Mall. Below is a link to
a draft of the Project Plan for the proposed
district. The document is the Project Plan (“Project
Plan”) for Tax Increment District Number One, Village
of Greendale (the “District”). The Project Plan has
been prepared in conformance with the provisions of
Wisconsin Statutes Section 66.1105 (the “Tax
Increment Law”).
Tax Increment Financing is simple in concept. TIF calls for local taxing bodies to make a joint investment in the development or redevelopment of an area, with the intent that any short term gains be reinvested and leveraged so that all the taxing bodies will receive larger financial gains in the future. The funds for this investment do not come from current tax revenues, but from the additional generated by the new development. These new revenues are generated by increased public and private investment in identified, underperforming, areas.
When a TIF redevelopment project area (often called a TIF district) is created, the value of the property in the area is established as the “base” amount. The property taxes paid on this base amount continue to go to the various taxing bodies as they always had. It is the growth of the value of the property over the base that generates the tax increment. This increment is collected for use by the municipality to make additional investments in the TIF project area. This reinvestment generates additional growth in property value, which results in even more revenue growth for reinvestment.
