CEDARBURG, WISC. — The Cedarburg Common Council discussed how they wanted to be proactive in their interest in the future of the Weil Pump site, formerly the Mercury Marine, on Western Road.
The 12.76-acre property is owned by Jackson Western LLC. Weil Pump’s operations will eventually move to the Wilo headquarters and production facility at the Highway 60 business park in Cedarburg.
The city of Cedarburg has been in the early stages of discussions and ideas regarding the site because the site is not for sale, but it has been deemed a Smart Growth area.
Smart Growth areas are identified as areas that potentially are blighted properties or are properties that might become available for future development.
City Administrator Mikko Hilvo said the property owner plans to raze the buildings once Weil Pump moves out in February 2022. After that, they will look at any potential environmental issues that need to be handled at the property, handle those, and then put the property up for sale.
