Milwaukee River Floodplains Open House

Description

Join us at a public open house to learn about the planned cleanup of the Milwaukee River Floodplains.

The open house will be held at the Gordan Park Pavilion, 2828 N. Humboldt Blvd., Milwaukee, WI 53212.

Recent soil samples indicate the presence of contaminants on the east and west sides of the river between Estabrook Dam and the former North Avenue Dam. To ensure public health and safety, there is a historic river cleanup effort underway.

Find out why the cleaning of Milwaukee’s waterways is important, what planning efforts are underway, the estimated timeline and how to get involved.

During the open house, there will be 30-minute presentations at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.

This community meeting is part of a larger initiative to clean up the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern. To learn more, visit: https://mkewaterwaypartners.org/nov2023-floodplain/
