License Applicant Letter & Questionnaire

Strong projects start with early community engagement

Thank you for your interest in adding to the vitality of the Historic Brewers Hill Neighborhood. Located just north of downtown in Milwaukee, WI, our neighborhood is socially, economically, and culturally diverse. One of two residential areas from the City of Milwaukee’s original settlement period in the mid-1800s, Brewers Hill today is an urban, residential neighborhood and a growing business community that together shape its character and economic strength.

The Brewers Hill neighborhood is bounded by North Avenue to the North, Pleasant Street to the South, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to the West, and Holton Street to the East. Our southeastern border ends along the riverfront.

Our community is supported by the Historic Brewers Hill Association (HBHA), a voluntary 501c3 not-for-profit which has been serving the community since 1981. HBHA’s members devote an incredible amount of time to cultivating a safe, prosperous, and beautiful neighborhood for all. With the desire to both serve as the liaisons for residents seeking these ends and to help build relationships and neighborhood support for license applicants, the HBHA is requesting that applicants aid the HBHA with outreach efforts to residents.

If you are seeking support or review of your license(s) from the Board of Directors, please fill out the questionnaire (below). These questions are geared towards helping the Board of Directors understand your business, the requested license(s), and how your business and license(s) will impact the residents of Historic Brewers Hill. In addition to answering the questions, please provide your license application and any associated documents that you submitted, or intend to submit, to the City.

If you are requesting to meet with the Board of Directors, we typically meet monthly. Being volunteers, we will not be convening a special board meeting to hear your request so please plan accordingly.
