WISN: Brookfield Group Continues Fight Against Sileno Project
BRAD held a rally against the proposal.
Brookfield Residents Against the Dump held multiple rallies on Monday night against the Sileno Quarry proposed project, according to WISN.
The proposal is to use the space as an area to dump "clean fill material," from highway projects, that would eventually shape the land and prepare it for development. A 60-acre park as well as a residential area are proposed for the space; the site is a total of 85-acres, which includes a 23-acre quarry lake.
Residents are working to stop the project and bring it to a vote on the next ballot, according to WISN. The group needs to collect 3,500 signatures supporting their stance.
Residents are mostly upset about the estimated five years of construction trucks bringing dump to the site, and the noise and other issues that will cause. The city is expected to take action on the issue Oct. 7.
