Relocation Guide 2019-2020

12 YOUR RELOCATION RESOURCE Y ou could not have picked a more exciting time to move to Milwaukee! The region is sizzling with energy – from the construction of the Milwaukee Bucks new professional basketball arena and entertainment district in the heart of downtown Milwaukee to Foxconn’s decision to invest $10 billion in a new technology enterprise in Racine County that is expected to create thousands of jobs and further Wisconsin’s already well-established reputation for technological innovation and advanced manufacturing (even before the Foxconn announcement, Milwaukee was named as an up-and-coming tech city by Forbes magazine). Then there’s the social energy. It should come as no surprise that Milwaukee has become a preferred destination for Millennials. One reason is the beauty and abundance of natural resources in southeastern Wisconsin. Another reason is that Milwaukee has been a leader in creating walkable and sustainable communities. Twenty years ago, the city began work on the RiverWalk, which transformed the downtown and made it a hotbed of entertainment and downtown living opportunities. The momentum continues with the Milwaukee Bucks’ new basketball arena, the Fiserv Forum, and surrounding entertainment area in the heart of downtown Milwaukee.
