Records of a non-profit organization created for urban
redevelopment of the Park West Freeway corridor in Milwaukee. Includes committee meeting
minutes, correspondence, maps, news clippings, photographs, project proposals, reports, and
research studies. The collection documents the administration and staff of the Park West
Redevelopment Task Force (PWRTF) and provides a detailed picture of its planning, strategies
and proposals for land redevelopment. Executive Director David C. Hoeh and Assistant
Director Brigid Sullivan-Flynn created the majority of the records, which pertain largely to
their tasks of identifying areas for redevelopment, finding a suitable developer, and
obtaining sustained funding for their endeavors. Hoeh's correspondence files contain his
letters, proposals, and reports to and from city and state officers, community groups, and
developers. The annual reports of the PWRTF provide a succinct overview of the
organization's activities.
The collection contains detailed and extensive grant
applications and reports in the files for the Milwaukee Community Development Agency,
Milwaukee Department of City Development, Milwaukee Economic Development Administration,
Urban Development Action Grants, and Wisconsin Department of Local Affairs and
Development.
The photographs found in the collection provide excellent images of
the Park West area, including aerial views, and pictures of homes. Sanborn maps of the area
provide details on the types of housing and buildings.
