On May 19, 2010 the City hosted a waterfront redevelopment forum.  This presentation revealed for the first time the redevelopment concept plans for the Gilbert Paper mill site.  Featured in the plans are public shoreline enhancements, including walking trails, fishing piers, and habitat restoration.  These enhancements are integrated with proposed future commercial uses. These plans were presented in the context of other local and regional waterfront initiatives that are underway to reconnect individuals and communities with our water resources and heritage including: 

• The Fox-Wisconsin Heritage Parkway
• Water trails for non-motorized watercraft and identifying Menasha as a key destination
• Strong support for the Gilbert Mill Site Redevelopment Plan from the downtown business community
• Habitat restoration and public recreation including redesigning the Lawson Canal.
• Acknowledgment that the downtown is emerging as an attractive home for arts and entertainment and that branding/marketing the waterfront is key to sustaining the community into the future

The Gilbert Mill redevelopment site is an exciting part of larger plans for the Fox River corridor.  A team consisting of city staff, engineers and the developer have identified several potential funding sources to make this project a reality.

Single Stream Recycling

In an effort to make recycling easier for everyone, Menasha has instituted single stream recycling. You should have recently received a 96 gallon brown recycling container; all your recyclable material should be co-mingled in this container loose. Please don't place material in plastic bags, as they are not permitted in the recycling stream. In an effort to save money, we will continue to collect on a monthly basis as we assess the need for more frequent pickups. You may place additional materials in another approved container alongside your automated container or bring additional materials to the Recycling Drop-Off Site at the Public Works Facility on Baldwin Street. We will be assessing the number of residents with overflow to determine the best schedule for pickup in the future.
