Planners Tour Hobart

On June 17th, the Village of Hobart issued a "Request for Proposal" (RFP) for a commercial center sub-area plan to refine the Master Plan of Centennial Centre at Hobart. Hobart received interest from fourteen planning and engineering firms who came to the Village on July 11th, for a pre-proposal briefing and tour of Northern Hobart. Firms were from: Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Wausau, Appleton, and Green Bay.  Firms will provide submittals to the Village by August 16th for preliminary review by the Village’s Community Development Authority (CDA), who will make recommendations to the Village Board.  A Sub-area commercial plan will provide a commercial center land use component that attractively accommodates: commercial building footprints, road configurations for traffic and pedestrians, convenient but discrete parking accommodations, and small gathering spaces for shoppers and diners to enjoy multi-store shopping in the new commercial area of Centennial Centre at Hobart. The goal of the commercial center is to provide 7 days a week/365 days a year availability of restaurants, shops, and professional services to consumers within a 15-minute drive time of the Centennial Centre area.
