 New Berlin Workforce Housing Issues

The city of New Berlin is facing a decision regarding a proposed housing development in the City Center. 
The proposed development has a mix of affordable senior housing and affordable workforce housing.
SOPHIA, the Waukesha County faith-based social justice organization of which Seton is a member, 
supported the proposal. The city’s Plan Commission approved the development last month with three
zoning waivers. 
Since that time, a terribly ugly controversy has erupted over the proposal.
