SUPPORT MENOMONEE VALLEY PARTNERS AND THE WORK AHEAD |
|
MVP expanded programming to connect residents and youth to careers. |
|
-
MVP and MATC launched JobUp, a program matching residents to a job AND a degree program, with our partners Havenwoods Neighborhood Partnership and YWCA Southeast Wisconsin. JobUp increases students’ earning potential, provides stable income to help get people through school and addresses the workforce shortage.
|
|
MVP works to ensure that projects today will serve the community for generations. |
|
-
The Valley has historically been hard to access from surrounding neighborhoods. MVP is working behind the scenes on a generational opportunity to maximize the I-94 East/West Project’s potential to better connect the Valley and northside neighborhoods for bike, pedestrian, and vehicle safety.
-
MVP celebrated the new eco-area on St. Paul Avenue under the Marquette Interchange, a green space with trails and a gathering area which can also capture and filter up to 293,000 gallons of stormwater.
-
MVP, the City, and DNR are evaluating river level challenges on the Hank Aaron State Trail from 13th to 25th streets to plan for its future, setting the stage for the Menomonee Riverwalk.
-
Valley Week brought more than 700 people to 16 events to experience its transformation first-hand and get a glimpse of the excitement to come!
|
|
By supporting the Valley in the past, you’ve turned empty parcels into trails and parks, transformed vacant buildings into thriving new businesses, and connected people looking for work to family-supporting careers.
In 2022, MVP will continue to revitalize the Valley for the benefit of the greater Milwaukee community.
|
|
Your previous support has made such a difference, and we're proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Will you help us continue to make a change?
