Menomonee Valley Partners
Menomonee Valley Partners, Inc. is a Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to revitalize the Menomonee Valley for the benefit of the entire Milwaukee community.
MVP envisions a redeveloped Valley that plays a central role in Milwaukee: economically, with strong companies and jobs near workers' homes; ecologically, with healthy waterways and greenspace; geographically, with renewed ties to its surrounding neighborhoods; and culturally, with firm roots in its past and a role in histories to come.
Since its inception in 1999, MVP has served as the lead agency in the redevelopment of Milwaukee’s Menomonee Valley. Once Wisconsin’s most visible eyesore, the Valley has been transformed, becoming a national model in economic development and environmental sustainability. 300 acres of brownfields have been developed, 39 companies have moved to the Valley, and more than 5,000 family-supporting jobs have been created. One million square feet of green buildings have been constructed and more than 60 acres of new trails and park space with 45 acres of native plants installed have led to improved wildlife habitat and water quality.
