In a recent article, The Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service quoted several Milwaukee community leaders’ excitement and hopes for the Bucyrus Campus.
Sister Edna Lonergan, OSF, president of the St. Ann Center said, “It will be run and operated by the neighborhood, for no one understands the needs of this neighborhood more than the people who live here.”
“This is a new beginning for this community,” noted Alderman Russell Stamper at the groundbreaking. “The St. Ann Center will be an anchor to jump start more development.”
“Seeing this mission come to the neighborhood is absolutely incredible,” said Lorraine Burroughs, a volunteer for the Milwaukee County Commission on Aging.
“What St. Ann’s does is miraculous,” said Mayor Tom Barrett. “And this is something we need more of in our community.”
