West Bank (Oxford Avenue) Redevelopment District

Staff from the Redevelopment Authority held an informal meeting in February to discuss the proposed redevelopment district from Madison Street, north along Oxford Avenue, on the west bank of the Chippewa River. About 13 property owners came to learn about the public timeline to create a redevelopment district, the relocation process, and the purpose of creating the district.

The City Council unanimously passed a resolution supporting the need for redevelopment activities in the Oxford Avenue area in the City of Eau Claire on March 11, 2008. This resolution also certifies the boundaries as proposed by the Redevelopment authority. Following this decision a public hearing was held on May 7th, gathered input is reflected in the amended West Bank Redevelopment Plan as approved by the Plan Commission, the City Council and the Redevelopment Authority.

The Redevelopment District has therefore been created and the Redevelopment Authority will now begin to purchase the designated properties.
