LBAT - Local Business Action Team
Created by the Milwaukee Common Council in 2014, the Local Business Action Team (LBAT) – a group of city officials and local business leaders – was tasked with streamlining the city’s permitting, licensing and inspection process to make it more user-friendly for small and locally-owned businesses. The LBAT engaged local business leaders and gathered input in order to draft a series of recommended reforms for Common Council consideration.
To that end, during March 2015 the LBAT hosted a series of forums, inviting Milwaukee business leaders and small business owners to offer comments, ideas and suggestions about ways the city can be more user-friendly for small businesses. As a result, the repeal of outdated ordinances has been a first step in streamlining and simplifying city laws and processes surrounding business licensing. More changes are planned.
