This property has been purchased by Oshkosh Kids Foundation for the future site of the Tiny House Village Community. This site will hold 32 tiny houses, a community center, and common public gathering spaces that consist of, but are not limited to, gazebos, grilling patios, lawn playing field, and gardens. The purpose of this project is to provide homeless families in the community with a safe, transitional environment to teach them important life skills to help them evolve into a stable living environment. We have been working closely with the planning and zoning department to determine the best category that will fit this project for zone change. The planning and zoning department has determined the best category to rezone this property as is SMU-PD.
