Milwaukee 7 Regional Economic Development

 

The Milwaukee 7, launched in September 2005, was formed to create a regional, cooperative economic development platform for the seven counties of southeastern Wisconsin: Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Waukesha and Washington.  Its mission is to attract, retain and grow diverse businesses and talent.

Together, these seven counties have a wealth of corporate headquarters, a pool of highly skilled workers and world-class amenities.  Competing as a region broadens our range of choices and opportunities and gives us the competitive edge that we need, today, and into the future.

The Milwaukee 7 continues to build the region's capacity and accelerate economic growth.  Through its work, more than 3,200 jobs have been created or retained in the region, with an impact of more than $184 million in ongoing payroll.  The Milwaukee 7 has also leveraged millions of dollars in federal earmarks, state assistance and other municipal investments for business projects that make the Milwaukee Region stronger and a more attractive place to do business.
