Date: July 29, 2019
Re:

Recommendation for use of the Economic Diversification and Community
Development Set‐aside Fund – ED#19‐014 Central Oneida Community Space

Background
The Oneida Nation purchased several key parcels of property over the past 5 years in Central
Oneida, at the top of the hill – commonly known as “Upper Oneida”. These include a number
of parcels of property in Central Oneida surrounded by and/or on Service Road, County J, State
Highway 54. The parcels purchased include: the former BP site (on 7/2/2014) ; the former
Harley Bob’s (on 11/3/2016); a excess piece of WIS‐DOT Right‐of‐Way on the corner (on
12/20/2019); the former Schroeder’s Grocery Store (on 1/22/2018); the former Beavers Bar (on
1/22/2018); and W132 Service Road – the historic Oneida Post Office (on 11/13/2018). It is the
intent of the Oneida Nation to redevelop these properties into a community space to be a
catalyst for local community commerce, socialization, gathering and economic development.
These sites have been sitting underutilized since the buildings were razed and the larger
contiguous site has been surrounded by a screened fence to protect the public from potential
trip‐fall hazards, which in its current state, does not allow the Oneida Membership to utilize this
site for public enjoyment. The original land acquisition funds did not include funds to raze the
existing buildings, thus a separate CIP fund was established for demolition of the Former BP and
Former Harley Bob’s buildings. However, there was not sufficient funding for the demolition and
removal of the foundations of the buildings nor for the entire site to be sufficiently leveled off,
grass to be planted and the fence to be removed from the site for open space temporary‐use
until future plans of redevelopment are completed and a funding source is identified.

Current Request
The Oneida Planning Department has been requested by the Community & Economic
Development Director to lead an effort to make the site available to the Oneida membership as
a temporary‐use prior to any actual redevelopment efforts and be completed by the Fall of
2019. This temporary‐use effort will make the site level, safe and walkable‐ all of which are
requirements for removing the unsightly screened fence that currently protects the public from
the hazards that exist within the site.
The Planning Department, working with the Oneida Division of Public Works and the Outagamie
County Department of Public Works, has developed the plan to make the site safe for
membership temporary‐use. They have established an estimated cost of $26,000.00 and a
completion timeline of October 31, 2019 (see attached memo from Oneida Planning
Department – Jeff Witte).
Findings after Review
At the inception of this set‐aside fund, it was the desire of the Oneida Business Committee to
establish this fund for Economic, Diversification and Community Development efforts. This may
be one of the first true requests for use of this fund that is dedicated to Community
Development, a portion of which was one of the intents of these funds. This Community
Development fund use will hopefully lead to additional local economic and commerce activities
as well as be a stimulus for future permanent site redevelopment.
In accordance with the latest OBC Resolution #01‐23‐19‐C, in my opinion, this request appears
to be an appropriate use of the Economic, Diversification and Community Development Set‐
Aside fund and I can offer my recommendation to support this funding request. This
community development effort is merely the first step to redevelopment of this historically
significant site in Central Oneida.

In Closing
Community Development and creation of new local economic activity essential to the future of
the Oneida Nation’s local economic vitality and sustainability. Trade and commerce are
inherent to the Oneida Nation way of life, and these Community Redevelopment efforts that
are identified in the 2018 Economic Development Strategic Plan. This funding allocation will
support the Oneida Nation’s local economic development plans on the Oneida Reservation.
