Top takeaways from BizTimes’ MadWaukee 2050 event
Significant economic development opportunity abounds in the corridor between Madison and Milwaukee, leaders in the public and private sectors say, but seizing that opportunity will take strong partnership between the state’s two biggest economic engines and the diverse industries within them.
BizTimes Media on Wednesday hosted MadWaukee 2050, an event in which keynote speakers Dale Kooyenga of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) and Everett Butzine of Madison Region Economic Partnership (MadREP), and panelists Mark Crave of Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese, Wendy Harris of the Wisconsin Biohealth Tech Hub, Matt Moroney of Wangard Partners, and Jefferson County County Administrator Michael Luckey gave their take on what the “Madwaukee corridor” could look like in 2050, using their industry as a lens, and offering actions they believe will be critical to making it a leader in the state and the Midwest in decades to come.
