Jursik To Speak on Developing Milwaukee-Chicago Corridor

One of Oak Creek's county supervisors, Pat Jursik, will be part of a June 8 forum discussing the pros and cons of cultivating an urban corridor between Milwaukee and Chicago. 

“There’s a growing interest in strengthening our north-south corridor connection to Chicago," Jursik said in a news release. "The South Shore stands to benefit from these efforts, and I’m pleased to participate in this forum.”

She said assets like Mitchell International Airport, the fastest-growing airport in the nation last year, and the busy Port of Milwaukee must be leveraged to benefit the region.

Jursik has also been one of the leaders in the effort . 

"I’m bullish on the future of the South Shore communities I proudly represent,” she said.

The forum will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Johnson Foundation at Wingspread, 33 East Four Mile Road, Wind Point.
