Board Members of Wisconsin Clean Cities are humbly requested to join together for an in-person luncheon and annual meeting. 

Our member, Potawatomi Ventures, has been recognized by the US Department of Energy for developing a best-in-class workplace charging environment at the Milwaukee Wgema campus. Only three organizations in the US have received this esteemed award from the DOE. Always at the forefront of finding sustainable solutions for new technologies, Potawatomi Ventures has recently built one of Wisconsin’s first eco-friendly data centers. Join us for a guided tour of their innovative, award-winning institution, including the background of this historical location, with a review of the many restorations, renovations, and sustainability investments made at the Campus since its acquisition.

Wgema campus is a gated facility with a 43,000-square-foot underground parking structure and features state-of-the-art security.  The surveilled underground parking structure leads to a vestibule, which features a stone council circle and a statue of a Native American warrior seated beside a fire. Once you are within the gated facility, you will be directed by uniformed guards on where to park and how to enter the event venue. There are two entrances we recommend to drive into the facility:

• Gate #2 on 32nd and Kilbourn,
• Gate #3 on 33rd and Wells.

Wgema campus was originally built in 1881, then known as Concordia College of Milwaukee, a renowned academic institution that graduated many notable scientists, politicians, and athletes. The gym facilities hosted the Milwaukee Bucks. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called it home.  The Forest County Potawatomi and its business venture division acquired the campus in 1990 and have since invested 100 million dollars in renovating its historic halls and retrofitting the architecture to support sustainable forms of energy, while paying homage to its original character as they incorporate Potawatomi heritage.  Wgema serves as an Urban Indian Center, featuring a school, cafeteria, gymnasium, tribal court, clinic, treaty room, and other vital facilities. WCC thanks our gracious hosts, Potawatomi Ventures for donating the venue space for our event, sharing with us their vision to preserve and restore the historic beauty of Wisconsin.

Potawatomi, “The keepers of the fire”, are not only one of Wisconsin’s leading hospitality ventures, owning Milwaukee’s largest Casino and hotel, but they also own and operate several restaurants, event venues, and branched into real estate development in 2010.  GreenFire Management has been working to restore several historical areas of interest throughout Wisconsin.
