Bb Jack's Deforest

With a redevelopment incentive agreement with the village of Cottage Grove for the former Ghidorzi building in tax increment financing district No. 5, developer Joe Wagner wants to make the most of this opportunity. The building, located at 1609 Landmark Drive, wasbuilt in in 2006 as a 28,000-square-foot structure intended for multiple tenant occupancy. However, the building has remained primarily vacant since it was built, and there is one tenant, Princeton Club, occupying 8,000 square feet…. We have all kinds of plans, said Wagner, of CG Silver Badger LLC. Among them is a restaurant with a family entertainment center that will include a game room. It will have a nice bar with outdoor seating and a substantial game room, Wagner said. Parents can go one way and the kids in the other. He said the restaurant will be bb Jacks, owned by Todd Stimac. There are bb Jacks restaurants in DeForest, Wausau and Antigo. Wagner said the business is working on its architectural designs. Wagner, who lives in the Cottage Grove area, said the restaurant will be a destination point for families. He said his development business, Greywolf Partners, the umbrella company that includes CG Silver Badger, will be located on the north side of the building. Greywolf Partners, located in Milwaukee, will have its satellite headquarters in Cottage Grove. Wagner will work in this new 2,600-square-foot office space with eight or nine employees. Glen Oaks Insurance Group will open on the south side of the building, he said. Wagner said he should have the majority of the space filled in the next 90-120 days. But, he added, the building still needs work. There are dirt floors, and the insulation is showing, he said. It is a work in progress. Wagner also purchased a lot next to the building that could be used for a drive-thru lane in the near future. In the agreement with the village, Wagner will guarantee a future property value of $3.7 million as of Jan. 1, 2021, which would be an increase of $1,5
