Oshkosh buys High Ave. properties for Grand Opera House expansion
OSHKOSH – The show must go on! The city has taken another step toward to the $16 million expansion of The Grand Opera House after finally buying a pair of neighboring properties at 114 and 118 High Ave. for just over $824,000 combined. Common Council unanimously approved both acquisitions during a special June 29 meeting, with Deputy Mayor Karl Buelow abstaining due to his role as director of development at The Grand Oshkosh. The vote brings a final resolution to years of discussion between the city and the owners of the vacant 118 High Ave. lot, which once was the site of Gunderson Cleaners. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has an ongoing environmental case for the property as the former site of a dry cleaner but the resolution states that the seller is “considered the responsible party by the DNR.” Oshkosh also obtained the site of Thompson Photo Imagery after agreeing to purchase the 114 High Ave. property for $200,000 and pay the owners $166,275 to relocate the business. “It’s a tidy sum of money but sometimes it’s just the way things work, and this is what has to happen for us to get the property to pull off
