The 2010 Census information was not disseminated as of drafting this report; however, the Wisconsin DOA does release an estimated population each year based on motor vehicle registrations, income tax information, institutional population and new housing starts. Based on this information, the State of Wisconsin estimates our 2010 population at 34,600. 2010 Development Report 5

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS
Effective economic development is a challenging task that requires the alignment of multiple variables and entities. These challenges are especially exacerbated by the current economic slowdown and the contraction of the credit market. However, in spite of these challenges, the Village continues to move its economic development efforts forward. In 2010, the Village augmented its aggressive use of a multi‐component strategy by further expanding the economic development tools at its disposal. Specifically, the Village expanded and modified the Economic Development Master Fund to include a grant program, and utilized Industrial Revenue Bonds, Midwest Disaster Bonds, the Revolving Loan Fund, and Tax Increment Finance Districts, to redevelop under‐utilized areas of the Village. Specifically, the Economic Development Master Fund allocated approximately $58,000 in matching grant monies for five downtown area rehabilitation projects; Midwest Disaster and Industrial Revenue Bonds totaling near $14 million were utilized for the Entrust Tool & Design, NCL Graphic Specialties, Inc., and Bradley Corporation projects; and the Revolving Loan Fund was used to provide a loan for the build out of Angelo’s Café and Wine Bar in the Village Centre. The Village also continued its ongoing support of several redevelopment efforts. First, as conventional financing continued to be nearly non‐existent, the Village was prompted to provide the critical assistance to restore the redevelopment of the former Falls Inn into a new Radisson Hotel and RBG Restaurant. This is the first major project of a larger Main Street redevelopment effort and it is expected to be a catalyst for continued investment in the district. The Village continues its dedication to the redevelopment of the area generally located south of State Highway 41/ 45 from Pilgrim Road to Water Street, referred as Tax Incremental District (TID) No. 8, and outlined to the right. As efforts continued in 2010 with the honing of a land development strategy, the Village was also forced to deal with a non‐favorable economic climate and significant environmental contami‐
nation. As such, the Village created a donor and recipient tax increment finance relationship in which positive tax increments, above what is necessary to pay the existing debt in the donor TID No. 4, could be allocated to shore up the redevelopment efforts in the recipient TID No. 8. 2010 Development Report 7
TAX INCREMENTAL DISTRICT (TID) NO. 9.
In 2010, the Village also created TID No. 9. This district overlays the downtown area and is intended, in part, to continue the revitalization efforts that were highlighted in the updated Village Center Master Plan 2010. As part of TID No. 9, the Village also instituted a 50/50 matching grant program to entice owners and tenants to invest in the physical appearance of their properties in an effort to improve the aesthetic value of the entire district; in turn attracting additional patrons and prompting a renewed sense of civic pride. Since the inception of the grant, six applications for façade improvements have been approved and activity remains high. 2010 Development Report 8
2011 – 2015 COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION (COR) PLAN
The five year update to the Village‐wide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation (COR) Plan was embarked on in 2010. The COR Plan guides recreational management and park and trail development over five year increments. The plan inventories and evaluates the existing outdoor recreational amenities in the Village and tests these amenities against level of service standards. Based on the findings from this analysis, the Plan makes recommendations to advance the park and open space system in the Village. The COR Plan recommendations range widely including improvements within existing parks, enhancing trail connectivity between existing open space features, and acquiring additional land for future park development. In late 2010, two opportunities arose that will allow the Village to meet its long term park needs. The Village acquired approximately 115 acres in the northwest and 62 acres in the southwest areas of the community that would be developed with active and passive park uses to meet the needs of residents in these areas as residential growth continues. In accordance with this and prior COR Plans, the map above shows the 2010 acquisitions in the northwest and southwest areas to meet future park needs. These lands will be developed into parks as residential growth continues in these areas driving the need for additional recreational facilities. 2010 Development Report The map above shows the COR Plan recommendations linking future and existing open space features through an extensive series of trails. 9
VILLAGE CENTRE MASTER PLAN 2010
In 2010, the Village commissioned Schreiber/ Anderson Associates and their team to update the 1990 Village Centre Master Plan to guide reinvestment and redevelopment in the Village Centre for the next 15 to 20 years. This plan, while drawing from the 1990 recommendations, builds on the downtowns historic character, diversity in businesses, strong adjoining neighborhoods, and the prominent environmental/ natural features. It focuses on maintaining and enhancing the area’s pedestrian connectivity, walkability, business diversity, and visual appeal, while providing a strategy for key reinvestment opportunities. The Village Centre master plan, illustrated to the right, makes several specific recommendations including: ƒ Reconfiguring and redeveloping the Appleton/ Main/ Mill Street triangle, ƒ Continuing Garfield Street to the east of Appleton Avenue, ƒ Formalizing the Farmer’s Market and expanding the Mill Pond Park Shelter, ƒ Structured parking, ƒ Enhancing Centennial Plaza, Lime Kiln Park and John Taylor Park, ƒ Connecting existing trails and formalizing crosswalks, and ƒ Introducing additional residential options. 2010 Development Report 10
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
The Village reviews all subdivision plats, certified survey maps, and multi‐family development proposals. Although no new subdivisions were approved in 2010, the Village did approve four certified survey maps, and continued to work with residential developers regarding concept plans. This work could lead to two new single family subdivisions and two additional multi family developments in 2011. In 2010, only two Waukesha County communities had more housing starts than Menomonee Falls; however the average value of new homes in Menomonee Falls is the highest among the communities adding at least 25 new homes. The housing starts in 2010 marked a 40% increase when compared to the 2009 value, the first increase since 2004. The average home value and the consistent volume of new home construction reinforce the high quality of life and demand for property in the Village. Municipality
