794 Lake Interchange Study- an update with DOT
April 2, 2025
9:00am
Virtual via Teams
Join us for a virtual update from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to learn about the latest findings and updates on I-794.
It has been nearly a year since we hosted the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and stakeholders to share an update on I-794. As one of downtown Milwaukee’s most traveled thoroughfares, connecting the near west side of the city to the Lakefront, the highway needs extensive repairs or a reimagination. Many factors have been considered during the discussion of how to equitably and sustainably replace or reimagine 794, including downtown employee travel, potential for additional development, and access. The Wisconsin DOT is in the early phases of the I-794 Lakefront Interchange Study, which works with stakeholders and community residents to analyze how to best proceed in a manner that will enhance economic and social outcomes for our city.
Speakers include:
-
Jeff Bohen, WisDOT
-
David Pittman, WisDOT
-
Mike Ernst, HNTB
-
Carolyn Seboe, HNTB
April Membership Meeting - 414 Milwaukee Day
April 14, 2025
11:30am- Networking
12:00-1:30pm- meeting
Rockwell Automation
Let's celebrate Milwaukee and the dedication that GMC members have to fulfilling our strategic mission. We will meet at the historic Rockwell Automation building and gather in Bradley Hall to hear from one of Milwaukee's favorite historians- John Gurda.
Mr. Gurda will present a live version of his television series the "Making of Milwaukee."
Milwaukee was known as “good land” to Native Americans, a place of abundant natural resources. It became, over the decades, a major Great Lakes port, a stronghold of industry, a capital of ethnic diversity, a model of good government, and one of the most livable large cities in America. “The Making of Milwaukee” is a fast-paced, fully illustrated PowerPoint program that captures the full sweep of the community’s history, from its wilderness past to the complex patterns of the 21st century.
We will also be joined by Senator Tammy Baldwin to share an update on her work in Washington DC and locally.
Thank you to Becky House and Rockwell Automation for generously hosting this meeting in one of Milwaukee's historic landmarks. Parking and arrival details to come soon.

Marcus Performing Arts Center
Courtesy of GMC Member Kevin Giglinto.
The Marcus Performing Arts Center is making ten tickets available to Greater Milwaukee Committee Members for each of a select number of performances in 2025.
MPAC's Johnson Financial Group Broadway Series, featuring some of the best touring Broadway productions, are brought to Milwaukee by MPAC and our partners at Broadway Across America.
These highly anticipated shows have been selling over 90% of their available tickets, but we are providing these tickets at no cost as part of a special invitation for GMC Members.
Post-Performance Cast Party
Following each performance, we invite these GMC guests to join us for an exclusive Opening Night Cast Party at Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel. Join the cast, crew, and fellow partners as we raise a glass to celebrate the power of live theater. Refreshments and light hors d’oeuvres will be served.
Special Note:
This performance is part of a partnership between the Marcus Performing Arts Center and Make-a-Wish Wisconsin, where Wish Families will be in attendance for the performance, and will join us afterwards at the cast party. It will be a truly special evening, and can show the power of the arts on kids and families, while also illustrating what can be accomplished when two organizations come together to serve our community.
