The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Real Estate Foundation Inc. today 
received a $100,000 Blight Elimination and Brownfield Redevelopment 
(BEBR) grant from the Wisconsin Department of Commerce to help clear the 
way for construction of a new student dormitory.

The grant will help UWM remediate a four-acre site at 1194 East North

productive use," said Gov. Jim Doyle.
