When the Sun Goes Down, Downtown Really Shines
According to the Sociable City Network, nighttime economies attract other economic development, as well as the creative class, which has helped catalyzed the renaissance of notable cities worldwide.
In response to the rapid growth of downtown Milwaukee’s nighttime economy, Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21 retained the services of the Responsible Hospitality Institute (RHI) – a private, non-profit organization that assists businesses and communities in creating safe, vibrant and economically prosperous places to socialize. Contracted in the fall of 2010, RHI began a Hospitality Zone Assessment (HZA) that focused on the East Town, Westown, Historic Third Ward and Brady Street neighborhoods.
