A large area of interest is downtown redevelopment.
I know there are many people who are happy to see where the development is going,
but I also know that many would like to see further improvements.
The 100 N. Main apartments are tied into this. This was built along with the effort to revitalize downtown Oshkosh but look at all the problems the buildling has.
Ganther has tax issues.
And the proposed businesses that were suposed to occupy the bottom portion of the structure are not there.
Economic Development - Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District (BID)
The Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District (BID) was created in 1987 to retain free parking in the downtown area as well as to proactively support revitalization efforts by means of a special assessment. Oversight of the expenditures of these funds are delegated to a 10-person board, appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Common Council. The board, which meets the third Tuesday of every month in City Hall, develops the budget for approval by the council, and establishes the priorties for uses of the funds.
Members of the 2006 BID Board:
* Norm Packer, Chair
* David Sparr, Vice Chair ------- a lawyer in Oshkosh
* Barb Baier
* Mark Bohrnstedt
* Dave Hetzel
* Megan Hoopman--------------she's the gal has renovated buildings downtown. She owns the buildling that Lulu's, a nail salon, and something else occupies.
* Kurt Koeppler
* Al Martin
* Jeff Robl---is he part of Robl properties? If so, these people own several of the historic buildlings downtown.
* Jim Stapel
