MKE United will create a shared and inclusive vision for Downtown Milwaukee and its adjacent neighborhoods, supported by a strategic Action Agenda

We are experiencing once-in-a-generation development in and around downtown that is creating tremendous new opportunities for our City. We have an opportunity to leverage these developments to:

• Benefit the neighborhoods adjacent to downtown;
• Create a coherent and discernable identity for "Greater Downtown;" and
• Build safe and efficient connections between downtown and its adjacent neighborhoods.

To meet this need, the Greater Milwaukee Committee, City of Milwaukee, the Greater Milwaukee Foundation and the Milwaukee Urban League have convened a diverse team of community leaders from across the downtown and adjacent neighborhoods to launch MKE United.

While there is an estimated $5 billion of projected private development planned downtown, without a shared and inclusive vision created by a cross sector partnership of government, business and community, some Milwaukeeans might not realize the full benefits.

The MKE United Greater Downtown Action Agenda is a comprehensive planning process through which we will create a shared and inclusive vision for Downtown Milwaukee and its adjacent neighborhoods, supported by a strategic Action Agenda to make that vision a reality.
