Milwaukee Biz Blog: The two Milwaukees
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…” – Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Pieces falling into place for Drexel Town Square
Seven years after the Delphi plant in Oak Creek closed and five years after that plant was demolished, the puzzle pieces are coming together for the mixed-use Drexel Town Square development project on the 85-acre site the plant once occupied southwest of Drexel and Howell avenues.
City officials have worked for years with a development team led by Wispark LLC to create a mixed-use development at the site that would form a downtown for a community that has never had one.
Now, some parts of the project are opening, others have made significant progress and still others have started construction recently.
“We're very happy with the way it's coming together,” said Doug Seymour, director of community development for Oak Creek. “There was a lot of upfront planning. It is a very complicated project. Complicated projects take time.”
The eastern half of the project is more of a typical suburban style development and will be anchored by a big box store and surrounded by smaller retail and restaurant buildings.
