Oshkosh City RDA approves meeting minutes, spotlight designation, $85,000 purchase and utility easement
Summary
At a regular meeting, the Oshkosh City Redevelopment Authority approved prior minutes, designated 1203 Oshkosh Avenue as a spotlight parcel, authorized acquisition of 1203 Oshkosh Avenue for $85,000 and granted a utility easement for the Mill on Main development.
The Oshkosh City Redevelopment Authority (RDA) approved several routine and project-related items during its meeting, including minutes from a prior meeting and three agenda actions advancing downtown and infill development projects.
The RDA voted to approve the Sept. 20, 2023 meeting minutes, adopt a spotlight designation for 1203 Oshkosh Avenue (item 24-01), authorize acquisition of 1203 Oshkosh Avenue for $85,000 (item 24-02) and grant a utility easement to Wisconsin Public Service related to the Mill on Main LLC development (item 24-03). The motions carried by roll call votes recorded in the meeting.
Context: the spotlight designation and subsequent acquisition formalize city interest in 1203 Oshkosh Avenue as part of RDA redevelopment efforts. The granted easement is intended to ensure utility service for the Mill on Main development and to allow Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) to place infrastructure serving that project.

- Item 24-03, granting an easement to Wisconsin Public Service for Mill on Main LLC development: motion moved and seconded; staff explained the easement will serve multiple building phases and enable WPS to schedule and perform work when construction begins. Roll call recorded ayes including Hutchinson, Konnick, Felter and New Grover. Outcome: approved.
Other procedural actions - The RDA voted to go into closed session on a motion made during the meeting; the record shows the motion, second and roll-call support before the body recessed into closed session.
What happens next Staff said the easement will allow WPS to place service infrastructure timed to developer schedules, and the acquisition of 1203 Oshkosh Avenue moves that parcel into city ownership for the stated redevelopment purpose. The RDA discussed other pending projects during the executive director’s report and scheduled ongoing check-ins with developers on stalled options and agreements.
The meeting record shows a mix of routine approvals and project-specific authorizations intended to keep downtown and infill projects moving toward construction.
