Wisconsin Housing Preservation Corp. is under contract to buy the 6-acre former Bimbo Bakeries USA property at 3401 E. Washington Ave. with the intent of creating about 250 subsidized apartments in three buildings, a small park and parking at the site. WHPC, created in 2002, has acquired, developed and renovated more than 158 low-cost rental housing developments with more than 8,444 family and senior units in the state. 

The proposed buildings would range from three to six stories, and WHPC would use special construction measures to insulate housing units in anticipation of the stationing of U.S. Air Force F-35 fighter jets at nearby Truax Field starting in 2023.
