Economic Development - Open Meeting with MMAC President Tim Sheehy
Open Meeting with MMAC President Tim Sheehy
The Waukesha County Business Alliance's Economic Development Policy Committee will host MMAC President Tim Sheehy at its November 13 meeting. This expanded meeting will be open to all members of the Alliance (registration required).
Tim will speak on the findings and potential outcomes of the Cultural and Entertainment Capital Needs Task Force. Comprising 50 community leaders from Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties, the task force was launched in late 2013 in response to two developments: the NBA announcement that the BMO Harris Bradley Center no longer meets league requirements and a Public Policy Forum report that found other signature regional assets - most notably the Milwaukee County Zoo, Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee Public Museum and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts -- are also at risk due to chronic capital shortfalls.
The presentation will be followed by Q. and A and a discussion in which Alliance members will be asked to share their vision for the future of culture and entertainment in the metro area.
