Body

Whereas, The Near West Side neighborhood bounded by West Juneau Avenue, West Michigan Street, North 27^th Street and North 35^th Street is currently home to 4 bed and breakfast establishments; and

Whereas, The concentration of bed and breakfast establishments in this neighborhood has contributed to the stabilization and revitalization of the neighborhood; and

Whereas, This area contains many other large, historically and architecturally significant homes that would be suitable for use as bed and breakfast establishments; and

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee wishes to encourage the opening of additional bed and breakfast establishments in this burgeoning bed and breakfast district; and

Whereas, Formal designation of this neighborhood as a bed and breakfast district would help to reinforce the area's identity as a lodging destination and facilitate joint promotional efforts of bed and breakfasts and community organizations in the area; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the area bounded by West Juneau Avenue on the north, West Michigan Street on the south, North 27^th Street on the east and North 35^th Street on the west is designated the "Milwaukee Bed and Breakfast District."
