Buying Back the Block Initiative
Donation protected
Community member Fred Chambers grew up in the city of Milwaukee. He is an entrepreneur, and real estate investor, who has the idea of opening up a donut shop to add vibrancy near the block of 41st and North Ave.
“I noticed that there were little to no businesses or anything open on from what we know up to this point. And I see value and opportunities there. So, I had an idea to buy real estate there and a partner of mine mentioned that I should try to open a donut shop,” said Chambers.
The estimated cost to revitalize the building will cost $250,000, which includes roof repairing, new flooring, plumbing and electrical, new doors, larger windows, and a host of other city guidelines.
We would like for the community to be partners. Like how Woodman’s is employee owned, I would like for the donut shop to be community owned. With that, that creates job opportunities and self pride.
