Report: Retail Interest For Delphi Redevelopment Doesn't Fit Plans
Mayor tells BizTimes Milwaukee that retail pitched for Drexel Town Square so far doesn't line up with the city's vision for unique, non-chain stores.
BizTimes Milwaukee has an update on the Delphi redevelopment project, specifically the interest from retailers.
Mayor Steve Scaffidi told the BizTimes that while retail developers have expressed interest, the types of stores pitched so far don't match the city's vision for the project, now called Drexel Town Square. Many of them are chain stores similar to those already in Oak Creek, which Scaffidi said he is not interested in.
Scaffidi said the city wants unique businesses to help create a new downtown on the former Delphi property, at the corner of Drexel and Howell.
