Wisconsin Dells Closing Elm Street New Outdoor Plaza Location Down Town

The City of Wisconsin Dells Council is expected on Thursday July 11, 2019 to approve the closing of Elm Street from Broadway to the Alley for a new outdoor plaza location.   This would be along the entrance to the Chalet Bowling Lanes.

This will mean the corner of Broadway and Cedar Street property owner - Trumble Lot - will lose a business lease.  The Wisconsin Dells area has a much higher than normal business lease failure rate - this is secondary to the high cost of importing labor through the J1VISA Programming from outside of the Country.

The Wisconsin Dells area needs more than 4500 work experience travelers to come from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Programming to staff the local tourism business modals.  The Village of Lake Delton is investing millions of dollars to build new housing for the visiting J1VISA Program population.

The calculation of work experience travelers coming in to Wisconsin Dells through the J1VISA Program is used as an economic variable to measure the financial well being of the area.  The higher the number of visiting J1VISA Program work experience travelers - the higher the number of individual financial transactions - which is correlated to higher contributions to the resort tax fund.

The lower the number of J1VISA program work experience travelers - the lower the number of individual financial transactions - which is correlated to lower contributions to the resort tax fund.

The outdoor plaza location on Elm Street provides an opportunity for the high number of visiting J1VISA Program work experience travelers to participate in a local community event.  This is live entertainment that attracts the locals, the tourists, and the J1VISA population for a fun nightly activity.   The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.
