Join Menomonee Valley Partners as we celebrate 25 years for the community in the Valley with the people and partners who made the important revitalization work possible. Enjoy a plated lunch in Potawatomi Casino Hotel's event space for a special 25th anniversary celebration, silent auction, and panel discussion.Proceeds support Menomonee Valley Partners and efforts to continue revitalizing the Valley with a well-balanced mix of industrial, recreational, and entertainment uses that strengthen Milwaukee with strong companies and jobs, sustainable development and environmental stewardship, renewed ties to surrounding neighborhoods, and opportunities for all.
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.
“The physical transformation is overwhelming, and the new jobs and activities have given Milwaukee a needed boost. They are pretty much what we planned, but I don’t think that any of us expected so much to have happened so soon. The Valley has become such an interesting combination of modern industry, tourist/entertainment destinations, recreational facilities, and environmental restoration that it’s easy to overlook the many people from all walks of life who worked together for so long to make this all happen. Government at all levels, businesses large and small, and interested community members forged an amazing coalition that continues to function well today. MVP continues to inspire.”
— Mick Hatch, Foley & Lardner - MVP Board Chair
