Today, Dane County Executive and MadREP Board Member Joe Parisi joined Ruben L. Anthony Jr., President and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Madison (ULGM) and MadREP partner, to announce $2 million in his upcoming 2021 budget to support ULGM's purchase of a site for an economic development hub along the South Park Street corridor dedicated to supporting minority-owned businesses. The project will be modeled after the Sherman Phoenix project in Milwaukee, an entrepreneurial hub in the Sherman Park neighborhood providing high-quality commercial space and support for small businesses.
We, along with our partners at the Urban League of Greater Madison, look forward to gathering with you, virtually, at the Madison Region Economic Development & Diversity Summit on October 22-23, 2020.
