Have we not learned anything from the days of Robert Moses? As he pushed new freeways through New York City he displaced families, businesses, divided communities and increased congestion. What we should of learned by now is that as you build and expand freeways you encourage more people to drive, you encourage people to live further apart, you separate comm unites and yes drive up taxes.

Milwaukee is facing a critical moment. A moment in time that requires action of its citizens. Currently the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is in negotiations with Milwaukee County to acquire land at the County Research Park with the intention of building a new engineering school. Although UWM's ambitious plan to grow the university has value and promise its choice of location in Wauwatosa

Universities are amazingly effective talent attractors, and their effect is truly magnetic. - Richard Florida, "The Rise of the Creative Class" The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has the ability to attract students, professors and researchers from around the world and these people represent a potential pool of talent to be grown within Milwaukee.

A quick update on some of the projects around Milwaukee... First off, I noticed on the Beerline that the construction office is now in place for the Riverboat Landing Condos. Hopefully that is the first step before demolition can begin. Once complete I believe this project will continue to add vibrancy to the riverwalk with new its population and the mixed-use design that includes a restaurant.

For Milwaukee to truly re-emerge as a global city, it is time to learn a lesson from our past and embrace immigration. I understand this maybe a very controversial idea but this country and specifically this city was built by immigrants. Companies like Miller Brewing, Falk, Palermo and El Rey to name just a couple were founded by immigrants or their children. At a national level people like

During the April 4th, 2007 Community & Economic Development Committee meeting Professor Marc Levine spoke about the jobless rate for black males in Milwaukee being close to 50% and his solutions to lower the rate. Basically he argued for large public works projects to put people to work because his research has shown these projects can have the most immediate impact. Long term things like

The goal of growing Mitchell International ties closely together with the development of Milwaukee as an international city. Further it will help to bring tourism, business, jobs and money into the city of Milwaukee.
