4-23-14 rolling meadows senior living facility

The Fond du lac city council will vote Wednesday night on a tax incremental financing plan for a proposal to convert the former Rolling Meadows Nursing home into senior apartments.  The plan calls for 71 apartment

units, a pool, activity lounge, fitness center, parking garage and expanded kitchen.  The dining room would overlook the Rolling Meadows golf course.  Community Development Director Wayne Rollin says the senior housing concept evolved after an earlier attempt to convert the building into a hotel-conference center fell through.  The city council will vote at their meeting Wednesday on tax incremental financing for a 10 year period or until payments reach $1 million dollars.  The developer says construction could start this summer with the apartments opening in the summer of 2015.
