The Whitewater Common Sense Citizens (WCSC) held their third meeting on Thursday, May 29th, at 841 Brewhouse. Members of the community, the WCSC board, and the executive team leaders discussed their next steps regarding the active petitioning against the Tax Incremental Financing incentive proposed by Whitewater City Council.
“We are gratified to have had 108 attendees to our first three meetings,” Whitewater Common Sense Citizens’ president, Andrea Svec, stated. “It is incredible to see our community work together to oppose this issue.”
The Whitewater Common Sense Citizens have officially announced that they are moving forward with a petition to oppose the use of Tax Incremental Finance (TIF) incentives for apartments within Whitewater’s Tax Incremental Districts. This is in response to recent exploration and approval processes from the Whitewater City Council for various developments including several new apartment buildings.
The WCSC encourages the community to sign the petition and participate in future meetings. The petition can be signed online here or in-person at the Whitewater City Market. WCSC is committed to a transparent look into some of the major issues that are affecting the greater Whitewater Community; if you are interested in joining or learning more about the Whitewater Common Sense Citizens, they encourage you to reach out at whitewatercsc@gmail.com.
“Our values lie in the success of our neighbors,” Svec says. “Our group will ban together against policies that do not reflect the betterment of our community.”
Mark your calendar for the next scheduled meeting, which will be held Thursday, September 25, 2025. For more information on the Whitewater Common Sense Citizens, contact the board members at whitewatercsc@gmail.com.
