Who We Are


Meet our staff

Everybody needs a mission--a reason for being. Our mission is to strategically undertake commercial development and community revitalization projects through public-private partnerships wMembers of the Burleigh Street Community Development Corporation Board of Directors gather for a recent meeting.ith the city, county, state and federal governments, as well as with private investors, local corporations and foundations, which will re-energize the business environment of the Burleigh Street Business District.

Our first project was the demolition of Petroff's Bowling Alley located on 54th and Burleigh Streets and building a new edifice on the site--the Community Enterprise Center, a multi-use facility that is home to several new franchise and home-grown businesses.

More recently, we have created projects such as Vision Sherman Park and Burleigh Means Business. We have also been involved in the successful effort to make Burleigh Street one of Milwaukee's four Main Street commercial districts. Our "The Mosaic on Burleigh," the tag name for our Burleigh Street Business District, has many projects on the drawing board for 2006 and even 2007.
