25 YEARS OF TRANSFORMATION
In 1999, visionary partners came together to create Menomonee Valley Partners, a public/private partnership with a mission of revitalizing the Menomonee River Valley for the benefit of the greater Milwaukee community. Twenty-five years later, the Menomonee River Valley is a vibrant and thriving district with a national reputation as a model for economic development and environmental sustainability.
“I pride myself on my imagination when it comes to commercial real estate, but my imagination wasn’t big enough to see what has since happened in the valley.”

















““The Menomonee Valley of today stands as a symbol of Milwaukee’s renaissance. Together with strong partners, the City of Milwaukee is providing new opportunities for businesses to grow and succeed. I’m proud of our work and look forward to continued successes in attracting new companies and additional jobs to the Valley.”
