Milwaukee’s City Plan Commission has removed a proposed 19,000-square-foot data processing facility from its upcoming May 18 meeting agenda. The decision comes after significant community outcry and resident opposition to the project, which was planned by AFS Milwaukee LLC for the long-vacant former Walmart building at 5825 W. Hope Ave. in Midtown Center on the city’s northwest side. The facility is part of a broader redevelopment plan for the site, and its removal from the agenda indicates a delay in the approval process following public dissent.
