Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Greenfield, WI public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
American Red Cross Blood Donation Center
The Red Cross plans a blood donation center in a 3,500 sq. ft. space at 5005 S. 76th St., collecting blood and platelets only — no paid donations. It would add six full-time jobs and give residents a local donation site.
Victory of Lamb church relocation to 4111 S. 108th St.
A 1,100-member Franklin church is moving into the old VICI Beauty School site. The commission creatively split the parcel so the flood-prone land near Cold Spring Road stays residential/parkland, protecting the neighborhood from commercial creep.
Digital billboards along the I-894 corridor
Two new digital billboards were approved along the freeway, but commissioners capped both at 75 feet instead of 80 and pushed for decorative, 'Welcome to Greenfield'-style designs. Billboard revenue supports the TID district funding projects like the turf complex.
Residential objection — 2935 W. Bridge Street
Homeowner Michael Asad is challenging his assessment, citing a bank appraisal from July 2025. The board granted him a hearing at the October meeting so he can get a copy of the appraisal first.
Burger Lab and Shawarma Lab restaurant at 4736 S. 76th St.
A new fast-casual restaurant is coming to the old American Mattress space, bringing jobs and a new dining option — but the site has long-neglected landscaping and a crumbling dumpster enclosure that must be fixed before it opens. Parking is also far below code, and the council will have to waive the shortage.
Game Together MKE expansion and Omega Plaza driveway repair
A popular used-game store doubles its space, but the shopping center's crumbling 108th Street driveway entrance finally has a fix-by date of November 1, 2026 — or the city steps in.
Turkish Kebab House restaurant at 5235 W. Loomis Rd.
A new Turkish kebab restaurant wants to open in the old service station building on Loomis Road. It needs a special use review and has to clean up outdoor storage and excess window signs before opening.
