The city closed on the Glenn Rieder Inc. sale of the Juneau Highlands Business Park located at 1960 S. 67th Place on Wednesday, May 10. Glenn Rieder intends to begin construction of their approximately $10 million, 120,000 square foot industrial facility this summer, and plans to be operating in their new building within nine months.

“We are pleased to welcome Glenn Rieder to West Allis,” says Dan Devine, mayor of West Allis. “The addition of their new facility is more exciting evidence of the renaissance West Allis is currently experiencing. As innovative, growing companies such as this join our community, they bring with them twenty-first century employment opportunities and a commitment to West Allis that will continue to move us forward.”
