Join us for an important conversation on the future of I-94 in western Waukesha County\, key to supporting growth for Oconomowoc area businesses as Pabst Farms and Olympia Fields continue to expand. \n\n \n\nTopics covered will include:\n\n \n\n1. I-94 Expansion is Critical for Economic Growth and Workforce Mobility\n\n The I-94 corridor between Milwaukee and Madison supports 40% of Wisconsin's economic output.\n Major developments and residential/mixed-use projects in Jefferson and Waukesha counties are increasing infrastructure demands.\n The current two-lane bottleneck in western Waukesha County leads to congestion\, crashes\, and slower commutes\, impacting workforce access and economic development.\n\n \n\n2. Broad and Bipartisan Support for Advancing a Study\n\n\n Over 20 businesses\, economic groups\, unions\, and stakeholders\, along with Waukesha County legislators\, have formally requested WisDOT to prioritize a feasibility study for expanding I-94.\n A bipartisan group of 12 legislators sent a letter backing the study.\n There's a united front from the public and private sectors advocating for action.\n\n \n\n3. Immediate Action Needed to Avoid Long-Term Consequences\n\n\n The Waukesha County Business Alliance and supporters stress the urgency of the situation\, urging WisDOT to include the study in the next Transportation Projects Commission meeting.\n Without action\, infrastructure will lag behind regional growth\, threatening safety\, efficiency\, and the ability to attract future investment.\n Expanding I-94 is framed not just as a transportation project\, but a strategic move for long-term statewide prosperity.\n\n\n\nThis event is free and all are welcome. Light refreshments will be served. \n\nAdvanced registration is appreciated\, but not required.
