In collaboration with the State of Wisconsin and City of Milwaukee, the Urban Ecology Center and Menomonee Valley Partners, Inc. are implementing a $26 million $25 million (reduced thanks to construction savings) group of interdependent projects. UEC/MVP Project Inc. was formed as a separate 501c3 non-profit to implement this effort.
Through this collaboration we added six miles to the Hank Aaron State Trail and opened the Valley Passage, opened a Menomonee Valley branch of the Urban Ecology Center, and turned a brownfield into Milwaukee's newest park.
In addition to significant public investment, From the Ground Up has been supported by hundreds of corporations, foundations and individual donors… so far!
