ALLOUEZ, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A $30 million development project broke ground in Allouez, marking the start of a planned effort to build up the area around Webster Avenue with more housing, businesses and gathering spaces.
The three-story, multiuse building will include apartments along with retail and restaurant space. The complex is being built by SPARK Development and will be located on the northeast corner of Webster Avenue and St. Joseph Street.
Planning for the project began in 2015. Allouez Village President Jim Rafter said the development is aimed at meeting what residents have been asking for.
“We are delivering what people have been asking for in Allouez. Places to gather, places to live, places to eat, places to have fun,” Rafter said.
While there are no definitive plans yet, the village hopes to continue building similar spaces along Webster Avenue. For now, the village’s goal is to redevelop its current lots into housing and businesses.
