Developers vying to redevelop a historic factory building and adjacent land in West Allis have submitted plans that vary from an event space with food-production tenants to an 81-unit multi-family project.

West Allis recently received a total of five responses after it issued a request for proposals issued in May. The RFP was for the redevelopment of roughly 4.7 acres of land bounded by West National Avenue to the north, railroad tracks to the east, West Mitchell Street to the south and South 68th Street to the west.

This redevelopment area most notably features the historic, 40,000-square-foot former Kearney & Trecker building at 6771 W. National Ave.
