Not only have plans for a proposed gas station and convenience store been rejected in Saukville, but plans for a car wash were also pulled from last week’s Village of Saukville Plan Commission agenda, reported the Ozaukee Press.  Kwik Trip has been facing a large roadblock in launching a gas station and convenience store on land the company recently acquired in Saukville after the village's Plan Commission denied a conditional use permit last month because of environmental concerns.

A large majority, not small, of Facebook comments on Patch's original article about Kwik Trip's permit supported having the business open.
