The special meeting served as a workshop focused on defining the organization's scope and future planning objectives. Key discussion points involved reviewing and discussing supporting documents that guide the CDA, including its scope, general economic development activities, and relevant sections of the Wisconsin urban renewal act concerning blight definitions. A significant portion of the discussion centered on developing strategies for outreach and engagement with property owners, particularly regarding residential development parcels. Topics included how to contact property owners when ownership information is complex (e.g., held by LLCs or trusts), ensuring current owners of property in White Water are informed about new housing policies, and enhancing retention by informing local businesses about available resources and local supply chain opportunities. The body also discussed planning future activities such as legislative roundtables and outreach to elected officials.
