🎓 Education
KTEC Schools of Innovation bought the old Pick 'n Save in Uptown for $5 million to create a new charter school with state-of-the-art classrooms, a gym, and technical education spaces — the 56,000 sq. ft. building closed in 2017 and will open in fall with plans to grow enrollment from 320 to 650 students.
🏛️ Government
The City of Kenosha warns residents to follow snow emergency parking rules as winter weather approaches — parking will be banned in posted snow routes when two inches of snow fall and during a declared emergency when four inches fall or driving becomes unsafe, with overnight parking allowed in designated Downtown and Uptown lots.
Today, the Kenosha Plan Commission will review housing proposals including a six-building, 144-unit complex with rent and income restrictions on the northwest side, a 48-unit four-story building for seniors east of the transit building off 39th Ave, and two smaller projects with no age restrictions — a zoning change request for a pair of single-family homes at Sheridan Rd. and 48th St. that once held a nightclub.
