a duplication of the services performed by Vandewalle in 2002. Vandewalle &

concepts for the midtown area of Muskego (Janesville Road between Lannon and

Parkland Drives). This is much more specific and detailed. Fiedler believes the plan
done by PDI will supplement the work that was started by Vandewalle. The Mayor
stated that the Vandewalle plan outlined 13 areas in town for potential businesses. The
plan that PDI will do focuses on one of those areas. The reconstruction of Janesville
Road will have a large impact on the City and money spent on planning up front will be
worthwhile. Motion carried 7-0.
