Welcome...

Milwaukee is referred to often as “America’s best-kept secret.” With its outgoing residents and great events, the city enjoys a growing reputation as a destination.

Milwaukee has momentum. We’re capitalizing on our strengths and building for the future.

Visitors can see the changes taking place in our downtown.

Construction is well underway on the Northwestern Mutual tower. The building will be the second tallest building in Milwaukee, changing the city’s skyline.

Construction is ongoing at various other sites as new office buildi s and manufacturing facilities take shape. Residential projects are bringing more people to Milwaukee’s downtown, adding activity.

In the next couple of years, construction on two other noteworthy projects is likely to occur. A modern streetcar system will connect major downtown sites and a new arena will be built, providing a home for the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette University basketball. Milwaukee is moving in a positive direction.

Tom Barrett, Mayor

Spring is in full force in Milwaukee County this month and we offer no shortage o opportunities to enjoy a beautiful day out. Head over to Boerner Botanical Gardens in Whitnall Park to enjoy beautiful flower displays and our 1,00 acre arboretum. Or, play 18 holes on a sunny day at Currie Park Course, the most popular of our premier golf courses.

To help you take advantage of all that Milwaukee County has to offer, KEY Milwaukee is a valuable resourc for exploring the many activities available every month.

Whether you are enjoying sunshine and flowers or workin on your chip shot, I hope you enjoy your time in Milwaukee County.

Chris Abele,

Milwaukee County Executive

g SUMMER PREVIEW

Enjoy The Outdoors on Ozaukee Interurban Trail and the Oak Leaf Trail The Ozaukee Interurban Trail is a 30-mile paved trail that spans the length of Ozaukee County and is designed for biking, in-line skating, walking, running.

The trail route connects historic downtowns with natural landscapes.

The route is based on the Interurban railway that linked Milwaukee and surrounding communities from 1905 to 1951.

During the 1920s and ‘30s the line transported African-American blues musicians to the recording studios in Grafton for the Paramount Records label.

On the south end, the trail ends at the start of the Brown Deer Recreational Trail where riders can tap into the Oak Leaf Trail.

The trail features
