A $100m Brown Deer sports complex has a name as developer refines plan

A youth sports facility planned for Brown Deer has a refined conceptual plan – and a name. The North Shore Sports Village is proposed for around 16 acres along North Arbon Drive, just south of West Brown Deer Road. Developer Cobalt Partners LLC announced the name on Nov. 3 – one day after presenting conceptual plans to the Village Board. That presentation included a new video for the proposal, which combines an indoor sports and recreation complex with complementary dining, retail, and community-oriented amenities. "Our goal is to create something truly special for Brown Deer and the entire North Shore – a destination that brings people together, expands access to sports and recreation, and serves as a catalyst for continued economic development," said Scott Yauck, Cobalt founder and CEO, in a statement. “The North Shore Sports Village will fill an important gap not only in Brown Deer, but throughout the region," said village President Wanda Montgomery. "We are excited about the opportunity to help bring this transformative project to life." The project's name "reflects its broader vision of creating a regional destination where sports, recreation, wellness, and community come together," according to Cobalt. "Successful projects of this nature need to

Voters turn down public safety referendums in Muskego and New Berlin

Separate bids by the cities of Muskego and New Berlin to add more police and firefighters through tax-levy overrides both failed on Nov. 3. As part of a busy mix of midterm election choices, including state and federal offices and three state constitutional questions, voters defeated the strictly local public safety referendums by nearly a 2-to-1 margin in Muskego. According to preliminary results, about 64.4% (9,023 to 4,984) voted against the Muskego measure. The vote count in New Berlin, with about 56.2% (11,908 to 9,285) voting "no," was closer but nonetheless decisive. "I respect the voters’ decision, and I appreciate everyone who took the time to ask questions, share their views and vote," Muskego Mayor Rick Petfalski said in an emailed statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "This proposal did not receive the community’s support. We need to listen and better understand what residents believe would be a better path forward." New Berlin Mayor Dave Ament did not immediately respond to a request for a statement Tuesday night. A statement on behalf of the city acknowledged the result, adding: "The city appreciates the residents who attended public information meetings, reviewed referendum materials, and asked questions throughout the process."

Both almanacs forecast chilly, winter-like Thanksgiving in Wisconsin

It could be chilly Thanksgiving across Wisconsin, and you might even spot a few flurries in the air, according to forecasts from two almanacs. While Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, the Farmers' Almanac and Old Farmer's Almanac have both released forecasts looking ahead to the holiday – and they're each predicting the weather in Wisconsin to be a little more winter-like by then. The Farmers' Almanac expects the holiday week to be cold across the Midwest, including the potential for scattered snow showers or flurries. "While a blockbuster storm is not currently indicated, some brief travel slowdowns could develop where snow showers pop up," the Farmers' Almanac said. Overall, the pattern across the country is typical of late November, the almanac said, though some regions could still see wet roads, snow showers or chilly conditions. More: Historic El Niño could bring less snow, warmer winter to Wisconsin The Old Farmer's Almanac forecasts a chance of rain and snow in the Milwaukee area during Thanksgiving week, along with a "cool nip in the air," so "give yourself plenty of time for holiday travel." In the Upper Midwest, the almanac predicts flurries and snow showers, plus colder-than-normal temperatures. Snow in
