Ad Hoc Committee Might Be Formed to Plan Village Center Redevelopment
A proposal will be made to the Village Board to form the committee that will help develop a plan for the future use of the Municipal Parking Lot Area in the Village Center.
The Planning Commission agreed yesterday to form an ad hoc committee to help develop a plan for the future use of the Municipal Parking Lot Area in the Village Center.
This area includes the former Police Station, Grounds Building and Hose Tower, and Municipal Parking Lot.
Some trustees and commissioners brought the idea forth. The committee would be made up of representatives from the Board of Trustees, Greendale School District, Greendale Historical Society, a Greendale business owner, Planning Commission, Village Manager and a number of residents. The goal is to have about 11 members.

Some residents took to the streets after the first open house and passed out hundreds of fliers to Greendale homes.

This led to the decision to eliminate the housing portion of the concepts.
This is part of a plan to bring more life into the Village Center and find new uses for the parking lot on Parking Street.
President John Hermes will bring the proposal of the committee to the Village Board of Trustees in July.
