Abstract:
Records of the Business Improvement District (BID) which worked to promote and manage development by means of special tax assessments within the Historic Third Ward area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The collection documents the BID's close relationship with the Historic Third Ward Association, which developed the overall planning and development of the area. The collection includes operating plans, which provide details on the goals and activities of the District, and minutes and background materials of the board of directors. The records of the parking structure contain extensive documentation of the design, planning, and construction of the parking and retail structure sponsored by the BID. The BID's Streetscape Project (sometimes called "Streetscaping") was an effort to improve the physical appearance of the district. The project began in April 1989 and was completed in 1992. The collection contains extensive documentation concerning the project, including correspondence with City of Milwaukee officials, especially the Department of Public Works, Renner Architects, and others about the streetscape plan and implementation.
