County Executive David Crowley’s Statement on the Brewers Legislation

By David Crowley - Oct 12th, 2023 04:23 pm

MILWAUKEE, WI – County Executive David Crowley made the following statement regarding the Brewers stadium funding legislation.

“The Milwaukee Brewers are an important asset for our community. That’s why I’m pleased to see the progress that has been reached thus far to keep the organization in Wisconsin. I appreciate the leadership of Governor Evers, Speaker Vos, Minority Leader Neubauer, and many others in bringing us to this critical point.

“While we’ve secured a positive agreement in the Wisconsin State Assembly, I now look ahead to engaging with members of the State Senate on a path forward. My main priority has not changed: To deliver a bipartisan solution that allows Milwaukee and the state to retain the Brewers, while providing Milwaukee County with additional resources to support our residents and communities in the years ahead. I am looking forward to continued negotiations over the coming weeks.”
