Milwaukee committee approves plan; could lead to city's 1st skatepark
MILWAUKEE - A City of Milwaukee committee approved on Tuesday, Jan. 9 a plan that would lead to construction of the city's first official skatepark.
The committee members considered a request to change the Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) District at 1st and Becher on Milwaukee's south side. It would use more than $2 million from the district for other projects like beautification, road construction, and the planning and construction of a skatepark at 5th and Rogers.
