We're excited to share vibrant renderings bringing the St. Marcus Elim Urban Oasis to life in Milwaukee's Historic Brewers Hill neighborhood. This spring, construction begins on a vacant lot, transforming it into a green gathering space rooted in a simple but powerful idea: that church members, students and neighbors who might never cross paths otherwise deserve a shared space to come together. Through our Fresh Coast Green Communities program, we’re working with Greenprint Partners to create a place where St. Marcus Lutheran Church, St. Marcus School and the surrounding community can gather, connect and grow alongside one another — with nature-based play equipment, raised garden beds, a teaching stage, a butterfly garden and green infrastructure managing over 90,000 gallons of stormwater.
