The development is called Morris Station. The project intends to put up 139 townhouses in 16 buildings. The site for the project previously housed several industrial buildings. The village had earmarked the location to be revived with new developments that offer both commercial and residential uses as far back as the 1990s. Brochure printing can be used to detail how projects will progress.
At a ground-breaking ceremony held by local officials and representatives from the developers, Mayor Steve Lentz stated that:
"We've reached an important milestone to redevelop a former industrial part of town. Residents will be within walking distance to many businesses and will constitute a welcome and new customer base.”
The first structures to be brought down were all on the east side of the tracks. The structures included an apartment building, a family home, a car dealership, and the Quonset hut that had been used for several different purposes since it was put up in the 1940s.
The village purchased a plot on the southern half of the land on the east side of the tracks in 2016. The Alan Josephsen Recycling Center occupied the western side of the tracks, and it has also been demolished. The land on the western side of the tracks was purchased in 2019.
