Report: Milwaukee’s strong support system for en­tre­pre­neurs lacks ‘backbone’


MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee has a strong network of support systems for Wisconsin business owners but lacks a central organization to streamline that support, according to the latest Wisconsin Policy Forum report.

What You Need To Know

  • Milwaukee has a strong network of support systems for Wisconsin business owners but lacks a central organization to streamline that support, according to the latest Wisconsin Policy Forum report

  • The report analyzed 50 public or nonprofit business support organizations in Milwaukee that focused partially or exclusively on “Main Street” type businesses, such as restaurants or retail

  • The report also said that Milwaukee still lacks a “clear leadership role” in providing supports

  • When it comes down to the actual help being offered, the Wisconsin Policy Forum found there were also some capacity gaps

Ken Notes: This is actually a pretty easy fix. A network organization meeting quarterly(ish), a database of online resources, a newsletter like this one to keep everyone in the loop, track best practices, successes, and failures for learning, and use teleology and mentors to improve deliverables. I would also tap local media to help. Finally use incubators and other support entities to grow businesses from the ground up. Milwaukee is a great place to start a business...

Local government spent hundreds of millions to assemble Foxconn site. Here`s how Microsoft will cover those bills


Microsoft`s proposal to develop an additional 1,030 acres in Mount Pleasant`s Wisconsin Innovation Park, mostly on land previously controlled by Foxconn, is expected to cover the hundreds of millions in debt local governments incurred to buy land and prepare the site for development.

The land purchase, expected to be completed by the end of the year, was announced just six months after Microsoft paid $50 million for a 315-acre parcel where it is building what is now the first phase of a massive data center development. That investment alone, in an area east of the Foxconn campus between Braun Road and County KR, is expected to be $1 billion...

Mount Pleasant Village Board approves Microsoft land sale, data center development agreement


Microsoft on Monday received the first of two local government approvals it needs to buy more than 600 acres of industrial park land from the village of Mount Pleasant, setting the stage for what the company says will be billions of dollars of investment in data center construction.

The village board unanimously approved the sale and a suite of revised development agreements with the Microsoft, Foxconn International Holdings, which has options to develop the land, and Racine County, the village`s local partner in creating the Wisconsin Innovation Park.

Village Board President David DeGroot portrayed the deal with Microsoft as a vindication of the "calculated risk" of partnering with Foxconn in 2017 and investing $1.3 billion in local, state and federal funds to develop the industrial park as a site that could in time become a technology hub...

UW–Madison announces new campaign video in support of College of Engineering building


The University of Wisconsin–Madison today launched a new campaign video highlighting the demand for more engineers and the importance of a new College of Engineering building.

The video, titled “Wisconsin Needs More Engineers,” emphasizes the critical role that engineers play in the state’s economy and argues that a new building is essential to producing and retaining top engineering talent. The spot underscores the need for legislators to advance the project and calls on viewers to show support for the new building by contacting their elected officials.

The new video is part of a recently launched campaign that demonstrates why an engineering building is essential for Wisconsin’s economy and its businesses. Ads in support of the project are appearing in digital, print and social media platforms...

Ken Notes: Nice video... I would like to believe it will help but alas this is generating media attention for those playing political games and they like the spotlight, sound familiar? I predict we will hear, "Lets build a wall around our UW campuses and make stupid people pay for it."

Gov. Evers, U.S. Sen. Baldwin: Announce $1.9 million federal grant to aid Wisconsin entrepreneurs


MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today, together with U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin), announced the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) has awarded the state of Wisconsin $1.9 million in technical assistance funding to support legal and financial advice for small businesses.

“Small businesses are the hearts of our communities and huge drivers for local economies, employing about half of Wisconsin workers and bringing unique goods and services to our communities, and they are more likely to hire locally, buy supplies locally, and get back to their local communities, too,” said Gov. Evers. “This support from our federal partners will go a long way in building upon our work to help make sure our small businesses have every opportunity and resource to succeed and thrive.”...

Respawn Madison boss Ryan Burnett spotlights the game dev potential of Wisconsin


Ryan Burnett, studio director of Respawn`s Wisconsin-located satellite office, shines a light on how the state holds benefits for game developers.

Back in March, Electronic Arts subsidiary Respawn Entertainment opened up a satellite studio in Madison, Wisconsin to bolster development on Apex Legends. As the company noted at the time, its new office wasn`t established as a pure support studio—it`s a third arm of the game development team behind the company`s juggernaut sci-fi Battle Royale.

Earlier today studio director Ryan Burnett—who leads Respawn`s third office—delivered a keynote at midwestern video game conference M+DEV arguing that the state is primed to be "the new epicenter" of video game development in the United States. Burnett is a lifelong Wisconsinite who previously worked at Epic Games and Raven Software. He might be a bit biased in his support for the home of the Green Bay Packers—but he`s also passionate in explaining to developers about why they should pay close attention to the region.

Burnett spoke with Game Developer in advance of his keynote to offer more context on Wisconsin`s potential as a hub for game development—and offered some thoughts about how studios can successfully set up new shops in such areas themselves...

`Sea of parking`: Could land around Milwaukee Brewers stadium be home to future development?


Some want to see parking lots converted to an entertainment district

The aroma of grilled bratwursts and sound of baseballs hitting gloves over speakers playing "Beer Barrel Polka" are key to the pre-game experience for many Milwaukee Brewers fans, some of whom flood the parking lots hours before first pitch. 

Although tailgating isn`t unique to the Brewers, it is a part of the team`s culture and identity. The 12,000 parking spaces and around 160 acres of parking lots at American Family Field are typically flooded with celebrating fans before games. But now as part of discussions related to a bipartisan plan to fund stadium renovations  some, including Milwaukee`s mayor, are pushing the team to redevelop at least some of the property devoted to parking...

HUD Selects City of Madison Community Development Authority’s Bjarnes Romnes Apartments as Study Area for the Annual Innovation in Affordable Housin


The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) selected the City of Madison Community Development Authority (CDA) to be the partnering public housing agency for the 11th annual Innovation in Affordable Housing (IAH) Student Design and Planning Competition. The CDA applied to host the competition and identified the Bjarnes Romnes Apartments site, 540 W. Olin Avenue as the project study area.  HUD selected the CDA to be the host agency through a nationwide competitive application process.

Each year, HUD`s Innovation in Affordable Housing competition invites graduate students enrolled in accredited educational institutions in the United States to form multi-disciplinary teams to respond to an existing affordable housing design and planning issue. The competition requires teams composed of graduate students in architecture, planning and policy, finance, and other areas to address social, economic, environmental, design, financial, and construction issues in addition to an affordable housing design challenge.

The Madison CDA currently owns and operates the Romnes Apartments, a 169-unit public housing building on a 7-acre site opened in 1968. As the two-story, horseshoe-shaped structure would likely face overwhelming rehabilitation and modernization costs in its existing form, CDA expects that it may be most cost-effective to ultimately demolish the facility and replace it with one or more buildings on the same site that would provide improved resident amenities, sustainable and climate-friendly design features, and operational efficiencies...

Mineral Point Road farmhouse has stood for 130 years despite development


The brick farmhouse sits on a ridge overlooking what is now Madison’s Far West Side and is one the few reminders of this area’s agrarian past.

The silos, barn, outbuildings and clotheslines were removed decades ago as development encroached and ultimately swallowed what once was pasture, corn and soybean fields, and gravel roads.

But the two-story farmhouse on Mineral Point Road that was converted to restaurant space in 1981 remains and is once again serving as a communal place while preserving a piece of history.
