Location Map The site was originally intended to be part of the Stout Technology Park, but the wetlands on the north and the steep slopes on the south make construction of a large industrial building unlikely. The site would lend itself to residential development. The lands to the southwest have been developed as multi-family then single family residential. The site is within walking distance of major employers including Phillips-Medisize and Anderson Windows. The Ad-Hoc Housing Committee reviewed the attached Request for Statement of Qualification (RFSOQ), which is intended to identify a developer partner with experience developing affordable housing, on August 12, 2025 and recommended that it be issued to prospective developers. If the City Council concurs, the appropriate motion would be Direct City Staff to issue the Affordable Housing Development RFSOQ, as presented (simple majority). 1  REQUEST FOR STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CITY OF MENOMONIE, DUNN COUNTY, WISCONSIN The City of Menomonie will be accepting Statements of Qualification from experienced developers for the opportunity to purchase and develop Lot 1 of Certified Survey Map # 4967 as an affordable housing development, as outlined below, until 5:00pm on October 3, 2025.
