Rhinelander city officials say a developer wants to renovate an old building in the downtown area, helping generate some economic growth. The developer is asking the city for help in the form of tax increment financing. Plans call for the street level to be a commercial or retail storefront. There would be 10-to-12 apartments above. Officials say that developer isn’t local, but is from Wisconsin and wants to do what he can to boost the economy. Previous renovation projects in Rhinelander’s downtown area have been less ambitious.
