Rockwell Automation Inc.<\/a>\u2018s planned New Berlin<\/a> manufacturing<\/a> facility would create hundreds of new jobs<\/a>, and cost $211 million to $246 million.<\/p>\n The development could be partly financed through its property tax revenue \u2013 if approved by city officials.\n<\/p>\n That\u2019s according to plans filed with the city for the 810,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and office, to be built east of an existing light industrial building at 5800 S. Moorland Road. Those plans were posted online by the New Berlin<\/a> Community Development Department on April 8.\n<\/p>\n That building could be expanded by 210,000 square feet \u2013 giving it just over 1 million square feet.<\/p>\n A second industrial building, with 425,000 square feet, could be built just south of West Grange Avenue, about one-half mile east of the Costco store, according to the plans.\n<\/p>\n The proposed development, to be built on what\u2019s now mainly farmland, will undergo Plan Commission and Common Council review. The site to be rezoned totals around 325 acres.\n<\/p>\n A meeting for the public to look over the plans, ask questions, and provide feedback is scheduled for 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. May 13 at City Hall, 3805 S. Casper Drive.\n<\/p>\n The Plan Commission will hold a June 1 hearing on the proposed rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment, with the commission possibly taking action at its July 15 meeting. The Common Council could act on those items at its July 28 meeting.\n<\/p>\n
