Due to continued demand and the incredible success of the 2018 Block Build MKE,  Revitalize Milwaukee and The Clarke Square Neighborhood Initiative have teamed up once again to transform the neighborhood. 

2019 Block Build MKE will take place on August 17th.  The selected area is on South 24th, 25th and 26th Street between National Avenue and West Pierce Street.  This area will be the recipient of tens of thousands of dollars of investment. 

Twenty properties will benefit from this neighborhood investment.  On this day hundreds of volunteers, corporations and partners will come together to provide a large scale rehab, including critical repairs, accessibility modifications and beautification projects.
