Their growth is great. My concern is we aren’t separating NEW businesses from those simply relocating from suburban or other city locations to downtown. It’s a metro region after all. Winners and losers. I want NEW businesses. Everything else is simply moving pieces around. This isn’t newsworthy.
Sam- This is news worthy for the very concern that you mention. Regional municipalities are just cannibalizing each other. Now if a company started in someone’s basement or shed and grew to the point of needing more space or if a company relocated from China or Ireland….that would be news and plus for the whole region.
I also don’t see how the city with the greatest concentration of poverty in the state, adding tax base & jobs, is in any way beneficial.
@ Tim You’re not “adding tax base & jobs” when you’re merely shuffling from one neighborhood to another. Granted, moving part of their operation from ‘tosa helps the City of Milwaukee, but Milwaukee County isn’t any richer.
I’m more concerned with what NEW businesses will move into their old spaces. I hope it’s a startup or some company from outside the metro area. Otherwise, it’s just a shell game. Looks can be deceiving.
Well, it is an expanding company. Even though they move from one part of the metro to another, if the move is prompted by needing more space for more workers, I see it as a good thing.
I think it’s newsworthy insofaras a year ago this entire complex was a wasteland…. Now it has character.
