Aug. 1, 2021 10:30a (WGTD)---Kenosha-based Bear Development is in the business of building things. In this case, the goal is preservation. The Mills family has decided to set aside some 400 acres of mostly unbuildable land in southeastern Pleasant Prairie for use as a highly-regulated, wetland mitigation bank, one of just a few such preservation areas in southeast Wisconsin. The village’s plan commission approved the project last week. The company plans to spend $4-$5 million to restore the land to its original state.
