Community
Milwaukee is located in southeast Wisconsin, on the western bank of Lake Michigan, and is an hour and thirty minutes east of the state capital, Madison. It is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and is also one of the 25 largest cities in the country. Milwaukee is a city that cherishes its roots; you'll see revitalized architecture throughout downtown, and a parade of summer festivals celebrate the diverse cultures that made the city what it is today. But Milwaukee is also a city that's growing and changing. From major construction projects like a brand-new arena and streetcar to the revival of streets and neighborhoods around the city, there's a new energy in the air.
