Welcome...
Summer is in full force in Milwaukee County
this month. The county offers no shortage of
opportunities to enjoy a beautiful day out! Head
over to Whitnall Park, where you can visit our new
craft beer garden or enjoy beautiful flower displays
and our 1,000 acre arboretum at the Boerner
Botanical Gardens. Or, play 18 holes on a sunny day
at Currie Park Course, one of the most popular of
our premier golf courses.
To help you take advantage of all that Milwaukee
County has to offer, KEY Milwaukee is a valuable
resource for exploring the many activities available
this month. Whether you are enjoying sunshine
and flowers or working on your chip shot, I hope
you enjoy your time in Milwaukee County.
Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive
Something remarkable is occurring in the center
of Milwaukee. Activity, excitement, and noteworthy
changes are taking place at a pace that is
unprecedented in this city's modern history.
Some of the change is obvious. Cranes loom
above rising structures. Downtown buildings are sprucing
up with colorful signs and artwork. The sidewalks are busier
as more people are working, living, and enjoying a night out
in downtown.
Some change is less obvious as investors are buying real
estate and city government is building and improving our
infrastructure.
And there are strong signs that the trend of more
investment and more activity will continue. Northwestern
Mutual did not just build two new skyscrapers; they are
adding employees and constructing apartments. The
Milwaukee Bucks have not just built a new arena; they are
planning an exciting new district that adds more retail and
entertainment venues.
I am optimistic about Milwaukee's future and the
increasing opportunities for our residents and our visitors.
Tom Barrett, Mayor
