Iron District to Feature New Stadium with Governor’s Financial Support
Governor Tony Evers has announced a significant $9.3 million contribution from the state, allocated from federal ARPA funds, to support the construction of a professional soccer stadium as a centerpiece of the Iron District development led by Bear Real Estate Group. This initiative not only reinstates the previously withdrawn support from the state’s budget but also serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts between Bear Real Estate Group and the Governor’s office. CEO S.R. Mills expressed gratitude for the funding and the opportunity to highlight the project’s beneficial impacts on the community. The stadium, part of a $220 million mixed-use development, is on track to enhance Milwaukee’s urban fabric with affordable housing, a hotel, and event spaces, and is expected to be completed in time for the USL’s 2025 season.
