4-8-14 retlaw theatre redevelopment grant application

Fond du Lac city staff is preparing a grant application to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation for assistance toward the proposed redevelopment of the former Retlaw Theater building on Main Street. The grant application was authorized by the City Council in March.  Community Development Director Wayne Rollin says the proposal calls for retail, office space on the first floor and apartments on the upper level.  The next step in the approval process for the proposed project will be review by the Historic Preservation Commission in April or May.
