Governor Doyle Announces Next Step to Grow Menomonee Valley

Announces Brownfield Grant for Harley-Davidson Museum

MILWAUKEE - Governor Jim Doyle today announced a $1.25 million
Brownfield grant to the Harley-Davidson Museum that will build on
efforts to revitalize the Menomonee Valley and support environmental
remediation efforts.  The Harley-Davidson Museum is expected to bring
350,000 visitors to the area each year, generate an estimated $78
million in annual spending to grow the local economy, and bring in more
than $12.3 million in annual state and local tax revenue.


"From the Harley-Davidson Museum, to Miller Park, to the Hank Aaron
State Trail, to Marquette’s Athletic Fields, to the new Amtrak
Intermodal Train Station, to the great businesses building and
expanding, the Menomonee Valley has become a thriving economic center
for this city and the entire state," Governor Doyle said. "I’m pleased
to see new energy and projects in this central city region, and I’m
pleased the state can support Harley-Davidson’s vision for the Museum
and commitment to revitalizing this site."
