Welcome...
Don't let freezing temperatures, snow and ice keep
you from enjoying February. Milwaukee County
offers countless fun, family-friendly opportunities,
regardless of winter weather. Enjoy snowman-
building, sledding or tobogganing at one of our
award-winning parks, or ice skate at Red Arrow
Park. More relaxing options include a stroll through
Cathedral Square.
Indoors, visit the Mitchell Park Conservatory
(the Domes) or art galleries in the Historic Third
Ward, enjoy a concert at the Marcus Center for the
Performing Arts or take in a play at one of our great
theaters. No matter what you choose to do, I hope
you enjoy your time with us.
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 is not just building 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.
