Sept. 12, 2025 (MILWAUKEE) – The below statement can be attributed to MMAC President Dale Kooyenga on the approval of federal relief for those impacted by last month’s flooding.
“Thursday’s approval of nearly $30 million in federal assistance for flood relief is appreciated and serves as a vital step forward for our community.
