The City of West Allis Community Development Authority (CDA) held a meeting on July 24, 2026, focusing on several procurement and development-related issues. Key discussions included the partial release of agreements related to the Maker's Row and Sona Lot Two developments, and an update on the Beloit Road Senior Apartments, including audit results and future disposition plans. The CDA considered amending a professional services contract with SP Friedman for up to $25,000 to support real estate financing consulting and development agreement analysis. They also reviewed environmental remediation efforts and redevelopment plans for the former Motor Castings site, noting the denial of a $4 million EPA grant and plans to pursue smaller grants and loans. Additionally, the CDA discussed a potential loan of up to $1.85 million from Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District 11 to assist with flood damage repairs at the Element 84 multi-family development, including loan terms and repayment considerations. Updates on leasing activity for various residential developments and infrastructure projects were also provided.
