You may soon see a business park pop up in the City of Kewaunee thanks to a recent grant.

Former Mayor Jason Jelinek announced earlier this week that the City of Kewaunee was rewarded with an Economic Development Administration grant for $1.9 million. According to the U.S. Economic Development Administration, the grant is a part of a program offering assistance to Nuclear Closure Communities. The grant would support the construction of a new business park on the northern end of Kewaunee that would allow the city to attract new businesses and help existing ones expand. Sewer and water, streets and curbs, and lighting are all a part of the project. Along with a match of over $488,000, Kewaunee officials estimate the investment will create 31 jobs, save another 10, and leverage $2.7 million in private investment.

The hope is that the project will aid in the city's long-term recovery after the Kewaunee Power Station’s closure in 2013.
