A $21-million apartment and retail complex is being planned in La Crosse’s River Point District.
City committees are looking at designs for the War Eagle Building.
The project would offer two floors of commercial business space, along with 52 apartments on the upper floors.
The six-story building, to be named after the old War Eagle riverboat, is proposed for a lot next to the Black River.
The boat called the War Eagle burned and sank at La Crosse in 1870.
La Crosse’s economic and community development commission discussed tax increment funding (TIF) assistance for the project at a Wednesday meeting.
