Green roofs are an innovative way to add green space to urban areas. They are capable of infiltrating up to 90% of the stormwater that falls on them, preventing sewer overflow and excess runoff. The vegetation on green roofs provides shade and performs evapotranspiration, naturally lowering ambient air and surface temperatures in urban ‘heat islands’. Green roofs also provide aesthetic beauty and habitat in urban areas. Green spaces are linked to improved mental health and can serve as community gathering spaces. Is there a green roof in your community?
West Milwaukee residents have access to the resources and services offered at the Food Pantry and Resource Center mentioned in the flyer.

Strong Neighborhoods is an initiative developed by the Village of West Milwaukee to help increase the attractiveness of West Milwaukee housing stock. Strong Neighborhoods aims to work with citizens to invest in them and their homes. The Strong Neighborhoods initiative will assist with residential exterior housing improvements and property maintenance compliance. The new program is financed through a TIF financing law known as the “Affordable Housing Extension” which allows the extension of a TIF to benefit a municipality’s housing stock. Funds for these programs will be available in the form of grants as outlined in State Statute 66.1105. Investing in the Village’s housing stock will result in a ripple effect that will benefit everyone within the Village. Please see the links below for more information.
