Without a strong tax base, E there is insufficient revenue to make the types of investments successful communities require, including investments in education, transportation, safety, clean water, and a thriving downtown. The Economic Devel- opment Chapter provides a framework for public investment in economic development activities consistent with the overall goal of “pursuing economic development that brings good jobs to the area and supports the vitality of its industrial areas, downtown, and neighborhood business districts.” Key Accomplishments ThedaCare Regional Cancer Center represents $30M investment in a building expansion project on East Capitol Drive east of Ballard Road south of interstate 41. The project was completed in 2016. Neenah Papers invested over $8M in a new building and existing building renovations over the period 2015-2016, resulting in an estimated 100 new jobs created. Woolen Mill Lofts (60 units planned) will convert a vacant, century-old woolen mill into a mix of mar- ket rate and affordable housing. RiverHeath (41 housing units; 36 additional units under construction): RiverHeath is located in down- town Appleton, Wisconsin, on the Fox River just below the College Avenue bridge. A $12M, 95-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel is also planned at Riverheath.

  • Downtown Appleton Business Improvement District Operating Plan 1 Downtown Appleton Business Improvement District Operating Plan 2020
    2020 Downtown Appleton Business Improvement District Operating Plan 1 Downtown Appleton Business Improvement District Operating Plan 2020 I. Preface Wisconsin Act 184, signed into law in 1984, gives Wisconsin municipalities the power to establish business improvement districts (BIDs) within their communities upon petition of at least one property owner within the proposed district. The State Legislature created 66.1109 of the Wisconsin Statutes (the “BID Law”) to provide a mechanism by which business properties within an established district could voluntarily assess themselves to pay for programs aimed at promoting, developing, redeveloping, managing and maintaining the district. In many instances, BIDs are established in downtowns so property owners can jointly attract tenants and increase the value of their properties. Business improvement district assessments are quite similar to traditional special assessments wherein property owners are assessed for improvements or services that benefit them. Unlike traditional special assessments, however, business improvement district assessments can be used to finance a wide range of activities, services, and improvements. Business improvement districts in Wisconsin have been used to fund a broad scope of activity including business retention and recruitment programs, marketing and promotional activities, environmental enhancement and maintenance programs, and crime prevention and security activities. Pursuant to the BID Law, this shall be, when adopted, the 2020 Operating Plan for the Downtown Appleton Business Improvement District. This Operating Plan has been prepared by Appleton Downtown Incorporated (ADI). As used herein, BID shall refer to the business improvement district’s operating and governance mechanism, and “District” shall refer to the property located within the physical boundaries of the business improvement district, as provided herein.
