Welcome...
It's time to welcome winter, with lots to enjoy in Milwaukee
County.
Downtown, Milwaukee's County Parks are aglow with
festive holiday lights. Local "hot spots" when temperatures
turn chilly include Cathedral Square, Zeidler Union Square
and Pere Marquette Park. At Red Arrow Park, families gather
to enjoy the outdoor ice rink.
Indoor options include theater productions and music
concerts, while at the landmark horticultural Domes, the
special Scrooooge! Holiday Floral Show draws kids of all
ages. And unique shops throughout the county beckon
holiday gift-buyers.
For the exercise-minded, award-winning county parks offer
hiking, biking and, with the arrival of snow, sledding, cross-
country skiing and snowshoeing.
No matter what you choose to do in Milwaukee County,
we're certain you'll 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.
Tom Barrett, Mayor
