Sealed proposals are due by Noon, November 22, 2017 to the Village Manager, 6500 Northway, Greendale, WI Background Information The Village is accepting proposals for the potential renovation and reuse of the Station located at 6600 Schoolway in the Village. The Village was founded in 1938 as one of three (3) Greenbelt communities in the Nation. In 1938 the Village also built the building at 6600 Schoolway commonly referred to today as the Former Police and Fire Station. Over the years this building has actually served as the Village s Police Department, Fire Department, Municipal Court and central heating plant. The Station is a 2-story brick structure that contains approximately 4,200 square feet on the first floor level, a partial second level of 1,300 square feet and a partial basement of 2,900 square feet. The total building is approximately 8,400 square feet. The building has been vacant since November The Station is located on a parcel of Village owned property approximately 2.3 acres in size, which includes the Annex/Hose Tower building, a municipal parking lot and an access road to the Greendale Middle School. This parcel will have to be subdivided to suit the potential renovation and reuse. The proposal must include the area of property or land requested. The access roads to the Greendale Middle School adjacent to the Station will remain and impact access to the property during School hours. In 2000 the Village hired Slater Associates, Inc., Architects and Engineers to conduct an evaluation of the Station and the Annex/Hose Tower building adjacent to it. The Slater Report evaluated both buildings

The Village does not represent or guarantee the findings or recommendations of the Slater Report, but offer it as a possible source of additional information for potential proposers to consider. Because known contaminants remain in the building, interior inspections of the Station will not be allowed.

Example of a Historic Preservation Conservation Easement in use. Building Plans The Slater Report Pictures Interior Video Available Tax Credits In 2012 the Greendale Historic District, including the Station was designated as a National Landmark adding to its listing on both the State of Wisconsin and National Registry of Historic Places. National Landmark status and inclusion on the State and National Registry of Historic Places provides for potential property tax credits for historically appropriate and approved renovations/improvements. Tax Credits for income producing historic buildings may provide for two income tax credits that can help pay for their building's rehabilitation. The Wisconsin Historical Society's Division of Historic Preservation (DHP) administers both programs in conjunction with the National Park Service (NPS). The programs are: Federal Historic Preservation Credit. This program returns 20 percent of the cost of rehabilitating historic buildings to owners as a direct reduction in their federal income taxes. Wisconsin Supplemental Historic Preservation Credit. This program returns an additional 5 percent of the cost of rehabilitation to owners as a discount on their Wisconsin state income taxes. Additional information about the possible tax credits may be found on the State of Wisconsin Historical Society s webpage - The Wisconsin Historical Society s webpage in general can provide valuable information regarding the rules, restrictions and opportunities for renovation/re-use of the Station. The Village does not represent whether or not any proposal will or will not be eligible for any tax credit.
