South Shore Option 4.0: Economic Development Event Set For Oct. 14

There is lots of economic development happening in the South Shore, and much more to come.

Local leaders (me included) will have a chance to tell that story at the fourth-annual South Shore Option event set for Wednesday, October 14, at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center.

The meeting — presented by the South Shore Chamber of Commerce — begins at 6 p.m.

It will feature presentations from representatives from South Milwaukee, Cudahy, Oak Creek and St. Francis, including summaries of recent developments, a look at what’s on the horizon and development opportunities.

Thanks to the chamber for driving this event, and to Milwaukee County Supervisor Patricia Jursik for creating the concept and leading in executing the first several South Shore Option gatherings.

We need to be more vocal about economic development in the South Shore. We have a good story to tell, and it’s getting better as it’s being written, especially in South Milwaukee. I’m excited to be a part of it.

Guest Blog … Pat Jursik On The South Shore Option 2.0: Forum For Economic Development

The following is an excerpt from Milwaukee County Supervisor Pat Jursik’s E-News update on the South Shore Option 2.0: Forum for Economic Development.

It is my pleasure to invite all constituents to attend a unique, one-stop economic development forum.  This year’s event will be held at the Oak Creek Police Department. 

Representatives from the cities of Oak Creek, South Milwaukee, Cudahy and St. Francis as well as Milwaukee County and MKE Regional Business Park will discuss their current development efforts. Each city/agency will provide an overview of their initiatives and answer questions from the public.  In addition, plans will be displayed at tables for public viewing in an open house setting.

This forum is a rare opportunity for citizens to be a part of planning for multi-community development in one meeting and to learn about efforts toward economic growth in our South Shore communities. 

  • Where: Oak Creek Police Department Courtroom (301 West Ryan Road, Oak Creek, 53154)
  • When: Thursday, September 27, 2012 (6 to 8 p.m.)
