The VIA CDC’s Townhome Project which had its groundbreaking earlier this week was an exciting step in increasing affordable homeownership and revitalizing our neighborhoods in Milwaukee.

This effort demonstrates strong partnerships that work. The city is proud of our shared vision and efforts like this that prioritize quality affordable housing access, and we are proud to partner with them.

We are especially excited that Phase Two of this development is expected to become a part of the City’s Revive Program.

Thank you to every contributing organization and individual whose been a part of the work and support of this project including Alderperson Zamarripa, and congratulations on this exciting milestone of progress.

Director Joan Johnson has been a dedicated civil servant for 19 years at Milwaukee Public Library. She is a true titan in civil service. I congratulate Joan on her retirement and this new chapter in her life.

A few weeks ago, our community watched as Lincoln Avenue School was devastated by fire and since then, people have asked for a way to help.

The MPS Foundation has created a relief fund which you can find by visiting their website at mpsfdn.org/donate and then selecting “Lincoln Avenue Elementary School Fund”.

The funds will be first used to support the school’s classroom and teacher needs, followed other areas of greatest need as identified by school leadership. Thank you to all who have given and continue to give their support to the Lincoln Avenue family, staff, and students.

The Fond Du Lac Food Festival presented by the Business Improvement District 54 had a phenomenal turnout this year and left a true impact on the community. I was very grateful to talk with residents and help hand out fresh produce provided through a $10,000 sponsorship by Anthem. Partners and sponsors came together to celebrate food, culture, and community in this vibrant neighborhood and left me even more excited for the next one. Thank you to all who participated.
