On October 4, The City of Milwaukee Environmental Collaboration Office (ECO) and U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Wisconsin teamed up to host the first annual Better Buildings Challenge - Milwaukee (BBC-MKE) awards and celebration event, ReEnergize Milwaukee 2017. The event honored the program’s commitment to promoting its participants and recognizing their work in energy use reduction.
ReEnergize Milwaukee 2017 was held at the exclusive Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center in Suite 414 and the Bucks Preview Center. Guest speakers included the Mayor of Milwaukee, Tom Barrett, and U.S. Department of Energy Director of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program, Anna Garcia.
