Change is coming to Milwaukee’s port.
Three vacant buildings on the inner harbor will be demolished this spring to clear the way for DeLong Company‘s $31.4 million agricultural export facility.
“This is one of the highlights of my career,” said Port Milwaukee executive director
Adam Tindall-Schlicht in August. “DeLong’s investment at the port is the biggest at least since the 1950s.”
The demolitions will create a 4.42-acre site on the Inner Harbor that the city-owned port will lease to DeLong for a period of 30 years.
