Milwaukee tract sale to Milwaukee Expressway Commission dispute
A tract bought from the City Redevelopment Authority for 185714 was resold to the Milwaukee Expressway Commission for 370000. The seller’s president says the price is inadequate given land value increases and considers suing the county for 1 million or more. The commission cites costs and site improvements from 1961 and 1963. Glenn H. Jacobson notes the sale reflects preexisting costs and improvements.
