08/18/2026 - Administration and Economic Development Committees

The City of West Allis Administration and Economic Development Committees met on August 18, 2026, to discuss several economic development and zoning matters. A key procurement-related discussion involved a resolution to approve a tax increment financing (TIF) loan of up to $1,500,000 to Element 84 LLC for property improvements at 1482 Southeast Division Street, aimed at addressing flood damage and extending the TIF period by seven years. The loan includes provisions for flood insurance and interest payments benefiting the TIF district. Additionally, the committees approved a $200,000 economic development loan to Noble Catering and KAE LLC to assist with the purchase of a property at 4245 South 100th First 13th Street, supporting the expansion of a growing catering business. This loan features a 10-year term with a 25-year amortization and includes a condition for HVAC screening. The committees also discussed holding off on zoning decisions related to a C3 zoning issue to allow further community and stakeholder engagement, with plans to revisit the matter in a future council meeting in September.
