Welcome to Harambee Blog

Welcome to a blog about the Harambee Neighborhood of Milwaukee. The blog will contain posts of relevance to the Harambee Neighborhood, in particular the northern section, defined by Center Street on the south, Capitol Drive on the north, I-43 on the west, and Holton Street on the east. The neighborhood began work on a neighborhood plan in late 2006. This planning process will involve local residents and business owners in creating a vision for their community and determining strategic priorities. The plan will include physical, social, and economic improvements that address key quality of life issues. Further, the plan will serve as a blueprint for investment in the neighborhood by public, private, and philanthropic entities.

This blog welcomes and encourages comments from readers. Authors of this blog are participants in the Harambee Great Neighborhood Task Force. If you'd like to get involved, email kberger@lisc.org.
