Southridge Area Year in Review
Let's take a look back at a new Walmart, Macy's, Southridge renovations and new businesses along 76th Street.
I'm not sure if the Southridge area has ever experienced as much excitement as it did this year. Patch has been there from project proposalsto ribbon cutting ceremonies.
Walmart
Greendale's Walmart process started in 2010 when rumors surfaced that they had their eyes in the old U.S. Bowling Congress building. After several open houses, planning commission meetings and board meetings, Walmart was approved by the Village of Greendale in summer 2011.
Walmart construction started and ended in 2012.

Not only did the mall go through a $52 million renovation with the help of a $16 million TIF District, but other stores within the mall jumped on the remodeling bandwagon.
Boston Store celebrated the completion of its $8.5 million renovation back in August. The Village of Greendale created the third TIF district of $3 million to help fund the renovation.
