On The Issues: Milwaukee’s ThriveOn Collaboration

Description

Our host, Mike Gousha, will be focusing on a bold, new investment on Milwaukee’s north side, an area that until recently had experienced decades of disinvestment. The ThriveOn Collaboration, as it is known, was established by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation (GMF), the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), and the Royal Capital Group (RCG). The project will see the former Gimbels-Schuster’s department store on King Drive redeveloped, with the building becoming the new home of the GMF. It will also house MCW’s community engagement programs. Working with neighborhood groups, the partners have identified key community priorities and will make strategic investments in the health, equity, and economic well-being of people, beginning with the neighborhoods adjacent to the new development.
