Both sides of the proposed Confluence Project debate are featured on The West Side.
Host Rich Kremer welcomes members of groups that both support the project and those pushing for a referendum on the proposed Confluence Project. Representing Voters with Facts is concerned citizens Maryjo Cohen and Bob Von Haden. In support of the project is Ben Richgruber and Eric Larsen.
Guests discuss the $85 million project, and where they stand on it. The proposal is a public-private-university partnership that would develop a performing arts center, retail space and housing for University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in the city’s downtown.
The Confluence Project has been discussed on multiple programs since the first town-hall style meetings in 2012. WPR has been offering in-depth coverage on this topic from the beginning.
