MILWAUKEE — On the corner of MLK Drive and Locust, a remarkable transformation is underway. What was once the site of the old Martin Luther King Library is now home to a sprawling development that promises to uplift and empower the Bronzeville community.
The 18,000-square-foot facility will feature a modern library complete with high ceilings, cutting-edge technology, and inviting community spaces. But that’s not all—the development will also bring 93 new affordable apartments to a neighborhood in need of quality housing.
For many, this project is deeply personal. I remember coming to the old King Library with my daughter on Saturday mornings, spending hours immersed in books and family time. Today, I spoke with neighbors who are excited about the new chapter unfolding here, as well as the local developer who has brought this vision to life.
