The Silver City District was selected as one of four Main Street
Milwaukee districts in February 2005. The Main Street
Milwaukee Community Community Development Block
Development Block Grant (CDBG) office and office and Local
Local GrantGrantInitiatives Support Corporation (LISC).
CDBG and LISC funds work in public-private partnership to
provide operating support for Main Street programs. Since the
City of Milwaukee limits end at 38th Street, an
intergovernmental agreement between the City of Milwaukee
and the Village of West Milwaukee creates additional
opportunities for West Milwaukee businesses and serves as a
gateway entrance from Miller Park Way into the Silver City
district.

The Silver City Main Street uses the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 4-point approach to
community revitalization. Four groups of community volunteers work to bring about change by
working with business owners to improve aesthetics, recruit complimentary businesses, create a
positive image of the district and promote individual businesses. The volunteer Organization
Committee ensures that committee work plans fit the Main Street vision and that there is adequate
funding to complete those work plans.
