So that sounds both good and bad. I always thought the old dealer location on Burleigh would be a good spot. Lots of visibility, basically on east side of 114th and Burleigh. Right at the water tower there and in a developing area. I don’t know if Tosa would be any more accepting but that area used to be a dealer I think and doesn’t have the residential issue as it’s fairly all developed already. I really hope they can get their crap together and the city can too.Proposed WI location is in Menomonee Falls at N59W13500 Manhardt Drive. Very close to the Tesla service center.
Unfortunately there will be more delays. They need a zoning change approval and the village has delayed voting on the change for another month over issues such as noise and traffic. They don’t like how close the location is to two subdivisions (note that the physical building already exists). The service area isn’t air conditioned and there are concerns about noise from open bay doors.
Even if they get the zoning approval, there will still be public meetings and other approvals, so zoning isn’t a green light at all. Unfortunately Rivian wasn’t well prepared for the zoning commission meeting and didn’t do a great job conveying some things, like why they chose this location.
Also, they are only proposing three bays, which sounds like an awfully small service center to serve a huge chunk of the state.
