Department of City Development
The Deer District BID’s objectives are to enhance the District as a 365-day destination and make the District a premiere location for sports and entertainment, and a neighborhood built for Milwaukee to live, work and play.
The District is comprised of thirty acres of mixed-use development and is considered one of Downtown Milwaukee’s central attractions. Anchored by Fiserv Forum, home of the Milwaukee Bucks, a member team of the National Basketball Association (“NBA”), the District also includes the plaza, Entertainment Block, the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Sports Science Center, as well as a parking structure. Currently, the Entertainment Block houses numerous dining and entertainment options, and is separated by two public walkways, one of which leads to an outdoor beer garden.
