Event Description: 
With a clearly-defined mission: “To lead the revitalization of this area by connecting people to place, supporting a healthy business community and improving the quality of our natural environment,” Milwaukee's Harbor District has undergone a huge transformation over the last few years and has much more on the horizon. 

The Harbor District has been at the center of our region’s prosperity for hundreds of years – first as a rice marsh with plentiful fish and game, then as an economic hub that served industries throughout the state. Now its potential is immense. The Harbor District Initiative brings together local, state, and federal government efforts, private sector interests, and community enthusiasm to transform this area into a vibrant and productive waterfront that strengthens our community and regional economy… a place where you might find a job, start a business, rent an apartment, go out to dinner, or go kayaking. Come learn about one of Milwaukee’s most fascinating revitalization initiatives from Lilith Fowler, Executive Director of Harbor District, Inc.

After a keynote presentation, Lilith will lead a conversation with Carol Mohr, Director of Human Resources with Komatsu. Carol has has been involved from the get-go with Komatsu's South Harbor project and has worked closely on the initial benchmarking Komatsu did with other companies on their new office designs, as well as the change management and communication for Komatsu employees as they have migrated from the old Komatsu facility on 44^th and National to a new, modern office design. She will speak to many aspects of Komatsu's project since it was announced back in Sept. 2018.
