Riverworks Business Improvement District #25

The Riverworks Business Improvement District #25 is a public-private partnership between the City of Milwaukee and the owners of 130 properties that allows businesses and property owners to collectively develop, manage and promote the Riverworks Center business district.

The Riverworks BID operates three programs that focus on improving the appearance and perception of Riverworks Center.

  • The Public Safety & Appearance program: Performs graffiti removal and sidewalk sweeping for the area.
  • The Marketing & Promotions program: Promote the area as a first class destination for shoppers, business owners and real estate developers.
  • Business and Property Assistance program: Provides façade improvement grants (for things like windows, doors, signage, etc.), fencing improvement grants, and safety and security grants to BID businesses.

The Riverworks BID is administered by the Riverworks Development Corporation and staffed by Darryl Johnson, Executive Director. You can email him at darrylj@riverworksmke.org.

Capitol Drive Streetscape Project

The BID Board created a special committee this past spring to address the deteriorating streetscape along Capitol Drive. The committee members worked hard to develop a plan for the Capitol Drive medians, which included replacing the old gateway signs and "wavy sculptures" with new signs and wrought iron fencing. The intention was to go with a more simple and timeless New Gateway Sign
look while addressing issues of sustainability through the use of high quality materials. In addition, all the lighting in the medians is finally complete. We encourage everyone to drive down Capitol Drive at night to see the new signs and lighting - a look we feel helps define the Riverworks area.
