WUWM Milwaukee Tool plans to renovate this building in downtown Milwaukee and eventually locate up to 2,000 employees in the space. A potential $20 million financial package to help the company Milwaukee Tool renovate a vacant downtown Milwaukee building and eventually locate up to 2,000 jobs there is moving ahead, but not without some controversy. The Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee unanimously approved a Tax Incremental District (TID) for the project Thursday. Under that designation, Milwaukee taxpayers would provide the grant and city officials would count on increased property taxes and values for repayment.
