We are excited to continue the momentum that we have enjoyed on the Villard Ave. retail corridor and create that same energy in the expanded territory. This is an opportunity to raise the exposure and bring enhanced services to an area of Milwaukee that has been historically underserved. The newly-expanded BID will focus on bringing its successful community-improvement initiatives to the entire neighborhood– including efforts such as working with the City Department of Development and Department of Public Works to improve infrastructure and pedestrian safety.
