Retail Market Development Plan
In April 2009, the Village of Shorewood retained Business Districts, Inc. (BDI) to provide a Retail Market Development Plan to guide the Village as it seeks to support tenant recruitment. This project focused on both Shorewood’s existing businesses and on new businesses that could fill existing vacancies and anticipated new development.  To view the recently completed plan, click here.

Seasonal Flu
The health department has some seasonal flu vaccine still available. Please call to schedule an appointment at our regular immunization clinics. These clinics are held the second Monday of the month 2:00pm - 4:00pm and the third Tuesday of the month 7:30am - 9:30am.
