Mixed-Use Ingenuity On Milwaukee's Northwest Side

Hats off to the Northwest Side Community Development Corporation, the City of Milwaukee and a Madison-area developer for thinking big: a mixed use public library and housing for seniors who are caregivers for children - - all located in a new, energy-efficient structure.

The project won city Plan Commission approval Monday: Assuming it wins full Common Council approval also, there's great stability ahead for this key neighborhood and Villard Ave.
