The Oshkosh Common Council is expected to vote tonight on the plans for the Sawdust District.
That’s the area along Main Street, and south of the Fox River.
Economic Development Services Manager Kelly Nieforth says they hope the corridor will be unique.
The anchors of the Sawdust District would be the redeveloped Pioneer Island and the Menominee Nation Arena.
The council will also hear the results of a study on the future of the city’s Public Safety Building.
The city bought the former Winnebago County Jail site on Jackson Steeet in the early 2000s. City Manager Mark Rohloff says the building doesn’t fit their needs anymore.
A consultant studied the facility, and looked at potential options to replace it.
