ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS
Develop

a Town Center as the market indicates Town Center for Mequon Residents only Do nothing

Melaniphy & Associates, Inc.

DEVELOP A TOWN CENTER


Creates

a Downtown Area Brings Civic and Business facilities together Meets an increasing need Establishes a defined Gateway to the center of Mequon Its a contribution to the future of Mequon Should provide a clear set of guidelines for development
Melaniphy & Associates, Inc.

TOWN CENTER RESIDENTS ONLY


Consumers

are both entering and leaving the

market Cannot control what the consumer does walls do not work Might adversely affect the housing market new home owners want convenient shopping - within one and one-half miles

Melaniphy & Associates, Inc.

DO NOTHING A STAGNANT STRATEGY


Ignores

growing need May miss an opportunity to create a cohesive Downtown with a sense of place, identity, and continuity. Will result in a mixed-bag: development If not here, it will be needed elsewhere in western Mequon

Melaniphy & Associates, Inc.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Develop

a Town Center Some level of public assistance will be necessary to complement private investment Some level of public assistance may be necessary to encourage the development of Phase I TIF, a Special Service Area, a Taxing District, or some other public/private vehicle will be needed Recoverable over the life of the entity
Melaniphy & Associates, Inc.

STEPS TO TOWN CENTER DEVELOPMENT


Decide

whether you want a Town Center The market exists and will growth in the future Citys role: Facilitate Meet with property owners Determine the need for a developer Assist in bringing everyone together Determine the level of assistance necessary and its timing
