Monday, November 11 at 6:20 p.m. at the City Hall on Main Street in West Bend.
The plan is to develop 34 acres of land into 90 homesites. An additional 18 acres with an estimated 40 homes will also be discussed.

PLEASE ATTEND THIS MEETING TO SUPPORT A REDUCTION OF 90 HOMESITES WITHIN 34 ACRE DEVELOPMENT. WE WANT TO HAVE SAFE ROADS.
