Mayor Tom BarrettMayor Barrett: I launched this program to boost small businesses and attract more investment to our neighborhood main streets.

This program is succeeding because it focuses not only the funding but the work of businesses and resident volunteers to turn around blight, promote a main street identity and attract additional neighborhood businesses.

Main Street Milwaukee is a comprehensive, city-wide approach to neighborhood economic development that utilizes a proven method to increase investment in urban neighborhoods, create new businesses, create jobs, and create wealth in urban communities.

Main Street Milwaukee is a collaborative effort between the City of Milwaukee Department of City Development and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC).

The program uses $350,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds and matches it with private resources contributed by partners.
