Greater Milwaukee Foundation Awards $45K to RRF

Greater Milwaukee Foundation Awards $45,000 grant for public access improvements in the Milwaukee River Corridor
 A $45,000 grant to the River Revitalization Foundation will help its work toward closing a critical gap that exists in a 13-mile shared use trail within the Milwaukee River Greenway.

The grant supports the construction of one mile of trail along a parcel of land just north of Capitol Drive that was a former landfill. The land runs along the site of the Milwaukee Area Technical College’s solar voltaic farm. The money will fund habitat restoration, public education and support student and volunteer work crews.
