GREENFIELD, WI — A new restaurant featuring Mexican-American cuisine is being proposed for the former site of Carl's Catering, according to Greenfield city documents.

The second floor may feature a bar with some outside seating, Kadow said. Moving forward, phase two would be a banquet hall, Kadow noted.
