The Redevelopment Concept identifies uses that offer distinct opportunities for the integration of new development with existing uses. However, the Redevelopment Concept is also general in that the concept “bubbles” presented here are flexible. The use mix will not occur precisely as offered in the map, but is merely a starting point to advance the redevelopment vision. Each of the four areas shown in the Redevelopment Concept present the potential for a preferred type of development based on geography, existing and future infrastructure, past land use, future land use, proximity to other assets and amenities, environmental constraints, and the ability to balance environmental remediation with economic forces. A brief description of the envisioned development for each area will follow.

After years of environmental remediation, demolition of former industrial buildings, infrastructure construction, substantial investment by the City of Oak Creek and cooperative agreements with property owners and state agencies the Lakefront District is ready to be developed.
