A dozen new apartment units on East Racine Street in Janesville could alleviate some of the City’s housing shortage.
Three new four-unit apartment buildings are proposed for the south side of East Racine Street, just East of Randall Avenue.
The 1.5 acre site currently has a commercial building that most recently housed a towing operation. That building and the existing concrete would be removed as part of the proposed project.
Associate Planner Trae Meyer says the proposal went before the City Council for the first time this week and was referred to the Plan Commission.
Meyer says the buildings would look similar to another project by the same developer that was recently completed on Lafayette Street.
