Statement from Mayor Barrett on the New Impact Review for the I-94 Project
“Secretary-designee Thompson and Governor Evers have taken a thoughtful step. This is an appropriate and needed addition to the review process.
“I want a full assessment of the impacts on the people of Milwaukee, including a review of the disproportionate negative effects on people who, historically, have been left out of the decision making process.
“I am optimistic the serious issues that have been raised will be addressed.”
-Mayor Tom Barrett
