MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Nearly 100 new apartments and a new public library are coming to Milwaukee. A groundbreaking ceremony was held Friday afternoon, May 19, celebrating the MLK Library Apartments.
The $38 million project will transform the 2900 block of Doctor Martin Luther King Drive into 93 affordable apartments, and a new 18,000-square-foot public library branch.
"This project is just one step forward in making our king drive not only the best, but the place where people come from other cities to see what we're doing in order to take back to their cities to improve their community," said Deshea Agee, vice president of the Emem Group.
The grand opening is expected to be held next summer.
