Relocation Guide 2019-2020

TIM SHEEHY LETTER full-page ad Page 2 Y ou may already be familiar with many of the Fortune 500 companies that have grown roots in our region for decades, but we also have a recent influx of new development that is taking our economy to the next level and a growing startup scene. Once you take a closer look at everything that’s happening here, we think you’ll find that this is a great place to start and grow your career. From the rumble of a Harley that just rolled off the assembly line to the latest in health care advancements, Milwaukee is a place that never stopped designing and making things. We celebrate the talented workers who are leading us into a new era of advanced manufacturing. Our region also is at the forefront of industries such as financial technology, water technology, food and beverage manufacturing, and energy, power and controls. Milwaukee’s downtown has never been more vibrant, with billions in real estate projects underway or just completed. In its first year of operation, the Fiserv Forum hosted major concerts, community events and one of the NBA’s most exciting teams — our own Milwaukee Bucks. Stand on the shores of Lake Michigan on a summer afternoon, and you’ll see our stunning art museum, a horizon filled with boats out enjoying a cruise, runners and bicyclists hitting the trails, the remarkable newNorthwestern Mutual tower and the grounds that host the world’s largest music festival: Summerfest. While we embrace the energy that comes along with all these new developments, metro Milwaukee is not a place that forgets its roots. Here you’ll find celebrations of beer, brats and cheese alongside James Beard- nominated chefs and world-class arts and cultural amenities. And you can’t really get to know the Milwaukee Region without visiting its unique neighborhoods and suburbs. I’ve saved the best for last. As you consider or plan your relocation, I’m confident the best part of your move will be the new friends, co-workers and acquaintances you’ll meet as you make metro Milwaukee your home. TIM SHEEHY President of the MMAC - the region’s largest business association There has perhaps never been a more exciting time to be here in the Milwaukee Region.
