That being said, I’d like to express my support of Rocky Marcoux as Milwaukee’s Department of City Development Commissioner. Through the support and assistance of Rocky, there is an unprecedented amount of development finally moving forward in the City, which is putting my members back to work after a significant recession. We see every day how Rocky’s efforts to transform our city are creating a community that Milwaukee can be proud of, while also providing family-supporting jobs to its residents. Along with the leadership of the Common Council, Rocky has been a great partner as I continue to meet with developers from all over the country who are interested in investing in all parts of our city. I humbly ask that the Common Council approves his reappointment so we can continue on with the progress being made in Milwaukee. Thank you for your time in this matter, and I look forward to working together in the future. Respectfully, Kenneth G. Kraemer, Executive Director Ken Kraemer Executive Director, CLMC 731 N. Jackson Street, Suite 620 Milwaukee, WI 53202 (262) 229-5959
