Wausau could see as many as 100 new refugees resettling in the city beginning in October if a federal agency reviewing the resettlement gives final approval for the plan.
The proposal was submitted by Arlington, Virginia-based Ethiopian Community Development Council, one of nine refugee resettlement agencies nationwide. The U.S. State Department Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration is reviewing the proposal. If approved, which officials say is a likelihood, the first batch of new refugees could arrive late this or early next year. State Department officials did not have a comment by press time.
