Economic development forum to feature south shore

  

A forum to promote economic development on the south shore of Milwaukee County will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 7, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Cudahy Family Library.

"The South Shore Option: Forum for Economic Development" will feature Milwaukee County Supervisor Patricia Jursik, along with the following mayors of south shore communities: St. Francis Mayor Al Richards; Cudahy Mayor Tony Day; South Milwaukee Mayor Thomas Zepecki; and Oak Creek Mayor Richard Bolender.

The forum is intended for constituents and the development community to hear from economic development staff and the Community Development Authorities (CDA) of each city regarding the economic development plans taking place throughout the south shore.

The Forum will also include Tom Rave, executive director of The Gateway to Milwaukee.

The forum will highlight the dynamic plans formulated by the CDAs with the leadership of their city councils and mayors. Jursik will provide updates on the Hoan Bridge, 794 Lake Parkway extension planning, lakefront development and College Avenue repair. The Aerotropolis concept will also be explained. Additionally, each city will staff booths displaying aerial maps, mock-ups, elevations and planning materials of current or planned projects for public viewing and inquiries in an open-house setting.

For more information, contact Jursik at patricia.jursik@milwcnty.com or (414) 278-4231.
