The NACDC has organized three distinct Business Improvement Districts in the area, which contribute well over $100,000 toward the economic revitalization of the region.

  • The NACDC has leveraged this money to set up a revolving loan fund for the businesses on North Avenue between N. 27th Street and N. Sherman Boulevard, an area of 17 blocks. The NACDC has, in partnership with BID #28, acquired new lighting and banners to beautify the North Avenue commercial strip.

NACDC's 2007 Plan:

  • NACDC is developing a plan to identify and prepare families to become home owners within this community. We are in the process of creating a position, to directly provide a home buyer counselor to prepare existing and new families within the targeted area to qualify for a home loan. We are working with WHEDA, the City of Milwaukee Dept.of City Development, LISC and City of Milwaukee's neighborhood improvement development corporation and number of private investors to develop a comprehensive plan to identify property. The approach will be to purchase vacant land and build new tenements and rehab existing properties in the targeted area. Then screen and place families, who want to live, work and contribute to the economic base of this community in the targeted area.
  • Additionally, we are working with the Districts Attorney's office gang reduction unit, Milwaukee Police department and the Mayors' office to identify and remove the criminal element from the targeted area. That will assist NACDC in attracting new businesses to the community.
  • We are currently working with the BID # 28 and the City of Milwaukee in preparation for a 2008 street cape and road construction project along the North Avenue corridor.
