'Loomis Crossing' Land Now on the Market

The City of Greenfield has taken a big step in the potential redevelopment of “Loomis Crossing,” 13 acres of land north of where Loomis Road intersects with Interstate 894.

The city has signed a contract with real estate brokers The Boerke Company to market and list the parcels of land the city owns in that area as well as those owned by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

In October, WisDOT . The agreement also gave the city the opportunity to market the land even though the city doesn’t own it.

“We just want the land developed,” Mayor Michael Neitzke said. “We’re not in the real estate business. We’re trying to do everything we can to get the property on the tax rolls to get developed.

“It’s listed and signs are up. We don’t own the property. We’re selling something we don’t even own. But if someone wants to buy it, we can exercise the option to purchase it,” from WisDOT and then sell it to the interested party.

The listing price for the land, a portion of which was once home to a skate park known as “The Turf,” is $6.5 million.
