The legal battle between Eau Claire and the Town of Washington is over, and it clears the way for new homes to be built in the Orchard Hills area.
The city council last night voted to drop its lawsuits against both the town and the DNR. The agreement to end the lawsuits comes with a new directive for developers who want to build houses in the Orchard Hills area. Developers must build homes, and will pay the town of Washington 300 thousand-dollars over the next three years for road development. There’s no word when we could see some development begin.
