The Department of City Development is leading a citywide planning effort to update Milwaukee’s Comprehensive Plan with a set of recommendations that support increasing housing options and affordability for all. Feedback throughout the planning process, data analysis, and years of input through other neighborhood planning efforts led to the development of the proposed Growing MKE Plan. An initial Public Hearing was held at the City Plan Commission on July 29, 2024. Since then, staff have been working on additional resources and analysis to help answer questions and address concerns. Who is the intended audience for the webinars? Anyone interested in learning more about the Growing MKE Plan, especially those who have not been able to attend any of the past public open houses or webinars during the Growing MKE planning process.
