According to Milwaukee News Buzz, Bear Development sent a letter to the City of Kenosha threatening a lawsuit in federal court, possibly under the Fair Housing Act.
And this part sounds awfully familiar from attending the meetings in New Berlin:
At one community forum in a school cafeteria in May, according to the Kenosha News, “residents retorted that the project would bring criminals from the inner city of Chicago,” and one man likened the proposal to high-crime housing projects in the Illinois city. Mills reportedly protested during the meeting, “People have to live somewhere.” People in the crowd responded, according to the newspaper, “Why here?” Objectors have also protested outside Bear’s office in Kenosha.
Bear Development also dropped another proposal in Kenosha in face of strong community opposition, although it sounds like they're not giving up on the Uptown Brass site yet.
