Fond du Lac and North Area Comprehensive Plan Community Open House
The City of Milwaukee and its community partners at the Dominican Center, Metcalfe Park Community Bridges, Walnut Way and Amani United are in the process of updating the Fond du Lac and North Area Comprehensive Plan. The plan will build on recent local planning efforts to guide development in the area for the next 10-20 years. The groups are holding a second community meeting, which will consist of a series of public open houses. At the open houses information will be presented and questions will be asked related to housing, commercial corridors, parks and transportation. We need your local expertise to help develop the policies and strategies that will make up the plan and move the community closer to accomplishing its goals. This is your neighborhood, make your voice heard! A light meal will be provided at all sessions. Join us Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 11 a.m. or 5 p.m. at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society or Thursday, Feb. 27 at 6 p.m. at St. Ann Center.
