# Wausau City Council Economic Development Committee Meeting - 10/6/26

The City of Wausau Economic Development Committee meeting on October 6, 2026, considered several city-property and redevelopment matters. The committee approved a motion directing staff and the city attorney to draft a deed restriction for 1300 Cleveland Avenue reflecting appropriate non-industrial use, for review at a future meeting. Members discussed ongoing uses of the site, public input, and a newly approved opportunity for EPA technical assistance; staff expects to bring details for formal consideration next month. Potential DNR and Wisconsin brownfields grants could support cleanup and redevelopment, but no grant decision or award was made. The committee also approved a six-month due-diligence access agreement for the UWSB at Wausau campus property, allowing site testing and architectural, engineering, and environmental review while the city continues discussions with the school district. Related funding for the work is expected to return to the council for a vote.

The committee approved Habitat for Humanity’s proposal for city-owned property at 424 Burn Street, discussed as a sale for approximately $12,000, with part of the parcel intended for an adjoining property owner and the remainder for a Habitat home. Members also voted to enter closed session to discuss a possible city purchase of 108 Myron Street; no purchase decision was reported. No contract award or vendor selection was identified.
