BACKGROUND

The City of Oshkosh acquired the former Washington Elementary School at 929 Winnebago Avenue in 2024 in order to facilitate workforce housing on the former school property.

The property was acquired using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Future plans for this property are to develop eighteen (18) single-family, shovel-ready lots for workforce housing.  The purpose of this memo is to award the raze and remove (demolition) of the property.  Asbestos abatement will be completed prior to the raze and removal of the building.  Both the asbestos abatement and demolition of the property are expected to begin within the next several weeks and be completed by early 2025.
