Residents get first look at GM/JATCO site concepts that feature industrial use and housing
JANESVILLE — Residents got their first look Wednesday at three potential redevelopment concepts for the former General Motors and JATCO sites, offering different approaches to balancing industrial development, housing, commercial space and green space. The concepts, presented during a GM/JATCO redevelopment advisory board workshop, were developed by consulting firm Stantec using community feedback, market research and an assessment of environmental conditions at the sites. All three concepts include industrial uses on the former GM site — north of the Union Pacific tracks — where environmental contamination presents challenges for redevelopment, while exploring different ways to incorporate housing, retail and recreational space across the roughly 250-acre area. Concept A features a large industrial building of approximately 1.6 million square feet on the GM site, alongside smaller industrial and commercial uses.
