New App Tour Featuring Historic King Drive
During Doors Open and beyond, neighbors and visitors are welcome to download the Historic Milwaukee App and take a guided tour of King Drive. This app was developed in partnership with the King Drive BID and features public art, history, small businesses and more.
Ray Hill, Executive Director of the King Drive BID, said this about the tour: "The Historic King Drive Business Improvement District, on Milwaukee’s near north side adjacent to downtown, is truly a great reflection of Milwaukee. Our organization is working to increase vibrancy and density throughout the corridor. The spotlight on our district as part of this app tour will help us further achieve this goal and leverage the work that we are doing to encourage people to experience an area that ties diverse neighborhoods together."
The King Drive App Tour was made possible with funding from Bader Philanthropies as well as grant funding from the Milwaukee Arts Board and Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
