Located in southeast Washington County, the beautiful village of Germantown, Wisconsin has been in high demand lately due to its convenient location to larger cities and commute times. The local economy has experienced a steady increase since the 1960s. Many retail and service-oriented businesses have capitalized on the increasing population. Many of the area's residents are employed in the social services, education and health fields. The Germantown School District is in charge of the public education of the city's children. Germantown residents hold their history dear to their hearts as well. Many of the original buildings in the area have been meticulously preserved for future generations to enjoy as well as those of today. The Shrine of Mary at the Bascilica of the Holy Hill is a testament to the beliefs of the sanctity of the ground. These beliefs go back to Native American days. Many people flock to Germantown from all over the world to visit this sacred church. The people of Germantown are always happy to say "Willkommen" when you visit. Please be sure to contact me if you have any questions or would like any more information on Germantown real estate.
Grafton is a beautiful village outside of Milwaukee that has retained its small town charm throughout the years. But, far being just another small town, Grafton is experiencing some great commercial growth and other improvements this year. Stores like Kohl's, Best Buy, PetSmart and Michaels are looking to set up shop here. The South Commercial District is starting on the Creekside Development and redeveloping the Manchester Mall. A new Advanced Healthcare clinic is in process of development right now on Grafton's West Side and the Aurora Medical Center will be breaking ground right here in Grafton this year.
The Village Board has decided to implement several programs in Grafton in 2008. These include a community wellness program, a study on how to increase tourism to help support the city's redevelopment efforts, creating a park development plan for the next five years, creating an ad-hoc committee to ascertain the environmental sustainability of the community and beginning work on a Smart-Growth Plan that will address housing and transportation in the Village.
It's an exciting time in Grafton right now. So many positive things are happening. Contact me today so I can show you the endless possibilities Grafton has to offer!
