Gilman, who owns JBG Planning LLC, is in year two as project manager of the district he calls “The gateway to downtown.” 

Gilman discusses how much of the development is housing versus business, how much of that could be rentals versus owned, plus what some of the undeveloped space will look like.

River Point District was the old Mobil Oil site, located just north of downtown La Crosse, that had set idle for decades due to various challenges, including environmental cleanup.
