Summary
Staff presented the 2024 Development and Community Status Report showing record permitting activity and multiple large industrial and institutional projects; Menomonee Falls ranks among the state’s municipalities for high manufacturing assessed value.
Planning staff presented the 2024 Development and Community Status Report on April 8, summarizing building permits, construction values and major projects completed or under way in Menomonee Falls during 2024.
The report described record permitting activity and strong construction values in 2024, including multiple residential subdivisions, large industrial buildings and significant institutional work. Staff highlighted recent projects such as the Ricker Newson industrial building off Davian Drive, Boucher Ford’s new facility and other industrial additions in the AeroPark area. Tyler and other planning staff prepared maps and inventories that the commission noted were clear and helpful.
The report also noted Menomonee Falls’ high concentration of manufacturing real‑estate value; staff said the village ranks among the top communities in Wisconsin for manufacturing assessed value. Planning staff described the village’s population (now over 40,000), an updated housing‑stock breakdown and a busy year for single‑family starts and subdivisions; several commissioners remarked that 2024 showed the greatest number of building permits and one of the highest total construction values in recent municipal records.
What happens next: the report is an informational summary used by staff and the commission to track development trends and inform upcoming planning work including the comprehensive plan land‑use chapter and capital projects planning.
