The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors held a hybrid meeting on July 24, 2025, where they discussed several key issues, including a significant budget amendment related to the Mitchell Park Domes.
The main topic of the meeting was Item 6, which involved a request from the executive director of parks for authorization to commit capital funding for the restoration of the Mitchell Park Domes. This funding is contingent upon the approval of a lease agreement, a development agreement, and other necessary agreements between Milwaukee County and the Milwaukee Domes Alliance. The committee recommended the adoption of this item as amended, indicating strong support for the restoration project.
The discussion around the Domes highlights the county's commitment to preserving and enhancing local cultural and recreational assets. The restoration of the Mitchell Park Domes is seen as a vital step in maintaining this historic site for future generations.
Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of collaboration between the county and community organizations in advancing local projects. Further approvals will be necessary to move forward with the funding commitment, but the board's support signals a positive direction for the restoration efforts.
