Muskego Way is a block of neighborhoods between the historic old south side neighborhood that spans from 16th Street to 27th Street and Greenfield Ave to Becher Street. But it’s much more than just a grid on a map. It’s a collection of families, homes and businesses that inspire and create a community.

In 2014, Muskego Way, along with Clark Square and Historic Mitchell Street were awarded a two-year federal grant with the support of Northwestern Mutual, and other local donations creating Muskego Way Forward (MWF), a program connecting residents, partners and resources through asset-based development, a resident-driven advisory team, block watch groups and other organizations to advance revitalization of the community. It was so successful, it continues to this day with support from local donations, the dedicated neighbors of the area and the staff and support of Milwaukee Community Crossroads.
