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.
