SEPTEMBER 15, 2021
The 15 Districts of the city of Milwaukee have been able to create some very lucrative and DISCRIMINATING business improvement districts.
Two (2) BID Districts are the source of our research and audit over the next year. They are BID 21 and BID 51.
The majority of the districts have excluded African Americans in the planning and implementation. Cronyism Caucasian groups come together with exploiting with the Department of City Development, the Department of Public Works, and the Department of Neighborhood Services.
Kenneth Little was hired and the BID and NID skyrocketed in development in an orchestrated effort. This was seen as an ATM for TIDs - Tax increment districts and income forming neighborhoods within the BID or TID.
The first NID - Neighborhood Improvement District set the mold for what to include and what not to include - people living in and out of the city of Milwaukee. DCD and DPW were present to create the way with the various decisions to repurpose the Blatz development and the Zilber real estate/foundation.
Rocky Marcoux, DCD Commissioner and Martha Brown, Deputy Commissioner controlled the assets of the city with the power brokers of the real estate industry, construction companies, and banks. Many of the banks marched in/out with privileged mandates coupled with monopoly-oligopoly companies - Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce, Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation, Milwaukee 7, Greater Milwaukee Committee, along with state-driven organizations that exploited neighborhoods of People of Color.
WHEDA/WI Housing and Economic Development Authority was a convenient source after/during the breakup of the Department of Commerce. DCD, Small Business Administration, and other local neighborhood organizations were given the liberty to provide a small and disjointed amount of funding for various neighborhoods.
The sparse growth has led to manipulating various assets unique to a densely populated city with densely populated stakeholders with low/no income and quality of life issues of enduring concentrated poverty.
One of the largest assets was from "tax credits" of various kinds, brownfield, government-mandated housing and property tax credits, and EB Visa, for starters.

Business Improvement and Neighborhood Improvement
Business Improvement Districts (BID) and Neighborhood Improvement Districts (NID) are strong partners in the City’s efforts to develop strong commercial, residential and industrial areas of the City that create jobs and a higher quality of life in Milwaukee. BIDs and NIDs are funded and operated by businesses, property owners and other community members located within each district’s defined boundaries. Scroll through to discover the more than 30 BIDs and NIDs that are working to make our Milwaukee neighborhoods great places to live, visit or open a business.
