Tomahawk council authorizes WEDC grant application and approves developer agreement for 202 W. Wisconsin Ave redevelopment
Summary
The Tomahawk Common Council unanimously approved an authorization to apply for a Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Community Development Investment grant and approved a developer agreement to handle receipt and disbursement of any awarded funds for redevelopment of 202 W. Wisconsin Ave.
The Tomahawk Common Council on Oct. 7 unanimously authorized the city to apply for a Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Community Development Investment (CDI) grant to support redevelopment of 202 W. Wisconsin Ave, the site of the former bookstore, and approved a developer agreement to govern receipt and disbursement of any award.
Will Garske moved to adopt the authorization resolution; Mike Loka seconded. The motion carried unanimously. The council then approved a related developer's agreement, again by unanimous vote after a motion by Garske and a second from Robert Soward.
Council members did not specify an application amount or timeline during the meeting. The resolution authorizes city staff to pursue the CDI grant program through WEDC; the subsequent developer's agreement outlines how funds would be received and disbursed for the project if the grant is awarded. The council did not vote on construction contracts, project scope or a developer selection during this meeting.
The city has not yet announced a grant application deadline or an expected award date. Next procedural steps will depend on WEDC's application process and any conditions attached to a potential award; council members said no additional council action was taken at this meeting beyond authorizing the application and approving the agreement.
The authorization and the developer's agreement were both passed with unanimous votes recorded at the Oct. 7 meeting.
