Moving from a Rich and Diverse Past Toward a Bright and Vibrant Future
During a car wash, harmful debris, motor fluids, and soap are washed off of vehicles. When untreated, these materials may runoff into storm drains and have the potential to cause harm to nearby aquatic environments. Whenever possible, opting for the commercial car wash over the at-home car wash reduces the amount of pollutants entering waterways. Many professional car washes collect their used water, treat it, and recycle it, greatly reducing the amount of freshwater they consume! If you decide to wash your car at home, washing it over the grass is a great way to prevent harmful runoff. If washed on paved surfaces such as driveways and roads, runoff collects pollutants and can flow into waterways. Therefore, washing cars over an unpaved surface such as your lawn and limiting the amount of water used helps to prevent water pollution.

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.
