Richards to serve on Wisconsin Center District board

By Jim Butman

Rep. Jon Richards (D-Milwaukee) has been selected to serve as the Wisconsin State Assembly's appointee to the Wisconsin Center District board.

The board oversees the operation of the Midwest Airlines Center, the U.S. Cellular Arena and the Milwaukee Theatre.

"I look forward to working with the board overseeing Milwaukee's principal convention and meeting venues. When we attract more conventions and visitors to the Midwest Airlines Center, U.S. Cellular Arena and Milwaukee, we create jobs, grow our economy and revitalize downtown. Our region needs to invest in these assets and the board needs to insure we maximize the return on that investment."
