We’re thrilled that the Public Policy Forum is recognizing Whitefish Bay and Shorewood for their terrific cooperative efforts to facilitate our development here at The Cornerstone. On June 17, at the annual award presentation, Whitefish Bay and Shorewood will receive the award for Intergovernmental Cooperation.
In addition to all the hurdles presented by the economic downturn, the site for The Cornerstone originally straddled the municipal boundary between the two Villages. In a show of unprecedented cooperation, we negotiated a re-drawing of the municipal boundary so as to facilitate the development.
Now, both Villages and the residents in the immediate neighborhood will be able to enjoy the community we’re building here. We couldn’t have gotten here without the dedication of the members of each community’s elected and appointed boards and commissions and the tireless efforts of the Village Managers.
