Workforce Development Proposed in Racine

A developer has proposed a workforce housing development on a vacant lot near a closed Sam's Club (it moved).  The headline online is different than the headline of the paper copy, which was: 'Affordable housing' project proposed.  I got a chuckle out of that as I thought, "I see I'm not alone in thinking that tax-credit housing is not very affordable."

The first look at the plans was last night at the Racine Plan Commission meeting, and there will be a Public Hearing on Sept 14 at City Hall.

It'll be interesting to see if there's misplaced hysteria over this as there were in New Berlin and the City of Waukesha.
