Sheboygan Sets Aug. 26 Hearing on Downtown TID 21 Boundary Expansion
Sheboygan, WI August 21, 2026.
Residents will have a chance to follow a proposed expansion of Sheboygan’s downtown Tax Incremental District 21 during a public hearing and Plan Commission review on Wednesday, August 26, 2026.
The City of Sheboygan’s August 12 draft project plan calls the proposal Boundary Amendment #2. It would add territory in the downtown, riverfront and near-southside areas to the 263-acre district. The amendment is listed as the second of four permitted territory amendments.
What the proposal would change
If approved through the required process, the boundary change could broaden where existing TID 21 project categories may apply. The draft lists potential uses including mixed-use redevelopment that may include housing, streets and sidewalks, sanitary sewer, water, stormwater, communications infrastructure, cleanup and demolition, property acquisition, and development incentives.
That does not mean the city has announced a specific housing project or committed to building a set number of affordable units. The document is a planning framework, not a budget, appropriation or promise that every listed project will be completed.
Project-cost total would remain unchanged
The proposed boundary amendment would add territory without increasing TID 21’s approved total eligible project expenditures of $182,418,239.
The draft estimates approximately $343.1 million in future incremental value and about $116.5 million in incremental tax revenue over the district’s 27-year term. Those figures are projections based on the plan’s assumptions, not guaranteed results.
What happens next
The August 26 schedule lists the public hearing, an organizational Joint Review Board meeting and Plan Commission consideration. The draft also lists September 21, 2026, for Common Council consideration. A later Joint Review Board consideration date remains listed as to be determined.
Residents interested in downtown, riverfront or near-southside redevelopment should check the City’s official meeting notice and agenda for the confirmed time, location, attendance details and public-comment instructions.
