Foreclosed Milwaukee home to be transformed into design & photography business
MILWAUKEE -- There is new life for a once-foreclosed home on Milwaukee's south side.
It's ready to be transformed into a design and photography business, thanks in part to a neighborhood investment program.
Michelle Quinn plans to renovate the existing building into her work studio and personal living space.
The city is partnering with Quinn with a $65,000 grant from the commercial foreclosed property renovation fund.
In addition to the $20,000 purchase price, the new owner is investing her own funds to complete the build-out.
On Tuesday, February 2nd, city leaders handed over the keys to the home near 19th and Morgan.
