In early 2012, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett appointed a diverse group of 15 community leaders, including Fix Development’s Juli Kaufmann, to a City-community “Green Team.” The Green Team, in collaboration with the City’s Office of Environmental Sustainability, was challenged to develop the City’s first Sustainability Plan, a strategic roadmap that would answer such questions as, “How can we invigorate our great city? How do we reinvest in our neighborhoods? And how do we build a city where every neighborhood is a great place to live and raise a family.” They answered those questions in July 2013 with ReFresh Milwaukee, a bold plan to make Milwaukee the greatest city on the Great Lakes and in America.
