Welcome to TETNA!

The Wauwatosa Police Department’s Community Support Division wants to bring the Business Watch Program to Tosa East Towne and is looking for some assistance. Please consider attending tonight’s meeting to learn more about a partnership between law enforcement and business. To achieve crime reduction and crime prevention we need help from every business in Tosa East Towne.

This worthwhile program has been in effect in Wauwatosa in our residential neighborhoods since the early 1980’s and in full force in the Village Business District for a couple years now. Time after time this program has helped prevent crime and aided greatly in solving those crimes that are committed. This is an opportunity for Tosa East Towne to join in on an already established program that creates community bonding and a safe business district that promotes Wauwatosa as a great City in which to live, work and do business.

Please visit the Wauwatosa Police Department’s Community Roll Call blog for more information.

Garden Room at Hart Park

In November, the Wauwatosa’s Common Council appointed funds for a study on economic development for the city. The City of Wauwatosa has partnered with Ryan Horton and URS Corporation to analyze current economic development efforts in Wauwatosa and to recommend an organizational structure for economic development activities in the City.

A round-table discussion to address the concerns of small businesses and community groups in Wauwatosa is scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2009, from 5:00 until 7:00pm and will take place in the Garden Room at Hart Park, located at 7300 Chestnut Street, Wauwatosa, WI 53213. Note: this meeting was originally scheduled for December but was rescheduled due to bad weather.

The meeting is being held as an informal discussion. There will be two tables set up: one for small business interests and one for community groups. Feel free to drop in at any time and to stay as long as you want.

Information is being gathered to learn about how the city’s development process can be improved, to determine future opportunities for economic development, and to provide information about the scope of the planning process.

Consider attending this important meeting that can especially impact the east Tosa area. Your input is very valuable to this process and to Wauwatosa’s future.

Thank you to all the efforts on the part of the East Town Business and Merchants Association for a great return of the “Stroll the Avenue.” The evening was enjoyed by many TETNA neighbors. It was an excellent opportunity to visit our favorite businesses and find some new ones. We look forward to next year’s event.
