Alderwoman Coggs, Alderman Rainey and Alderman Pérez – ACRE (Association of Commercial Real Estate) alumni – developed the concept for the series to allow those interested in development to explore current development opportunities and challenges. The sessions are free and open to the public and offer valuable insights into a variety of subjects that are critical to any developer working in the City of Milwaukee.
The Monday, July 23 session on City Approvals has several topics to be covered including approval processes, timelines, special zoning regulations and how to work with various departments in the permitting process. There will be special focus on Licensing (bars/taverns/restaurants), Health Department, Historic Districts/ARBS (Area Review Boards), City Plan Commission and BOZA (Board of Zoning Appeals).
