Strategies for Mitigating Construction Impact on Milwaukee’s Economy

This report outlines the negative impacts of public construction projects on local businesses in Milwaukee, such as restricted access, altered shopping behaviors, and potential business failures, jeopardizing the health of the local economy and tax base. It examines current construction communication practices, identifies gaps in community engagement, and proposes a comprehensive service package aimed at mitigating these impacts through enhanced public meetings, improved signage, and business education. The goal is to increase service usage, reduce complaints, and improve satisfaction with construction services.
