The Village of Waukesha has approved limited expansion plans for the Infinity Fields sports complex operated by Catholic Memorial High School. Officials allowed more food trucks and Strongman events but refused to grant later hours and expanded alcohol sales, citing concerns from nearby residents about noise, lighting, and the potential for the facility to grow beyond its original scope.

Why it matters

The decision highlights the ongoing tension between community needs and the growth ambitions of local institutions. Waukesha officials had to balance the school's desire to expand programming with the quality of life concerns of neighboring residents, underscoring the challenges of managing development in a growing suburb.

The details
