Jeff Hoffman, who sits on the Waukesha County Business Alliance's policy board, shared his thoughts as part of the I-94 East-West Econ Connect coalition news conference April 5 at State Fair Park and later in an interview with Conley News Service. As a principal with the Boerke Co., Hoffman said he hears from people in the real estate industry who believe well-maintained infrastruc- ture is key to luring buyers, as well as operating a suc- cessful business. While full reconstruction and modernization of the East-West Corridor has been on the state's agenda and work had been likely to start in February, funding for the work was cut from Gov. Scott Walker's proposed 2017-'19 budget. The 3.5-mile-long I- 94 East-West project from 16th to 70th streets in Milwaukee County was planned to cost about $1.1 billion. "For us at the state level, we want to make sure that everyone is on the same page. Right now, leaders in the city of Milwaukee have consistently opposed an expansion that would widen the I-94 corridor ... I think for us to move forward on anything we want to see folks here in the city be on the same page," Walker said in a statement. The coalition contends this is detrimental to the economic success of the whole state. About 140,000 to 160,000 vehicles travel the I-94 East- West Corridor each day, according to the coalition. Hoffman contends that should the project be put on hold, the state's investment of about $20 million and four years' worth of work to plan the project and get fed- eral approvals for it would be lost. "The alliance believes it is necessary and there is robust debate that needs to happen on how we fund future transportation and infrastructure projects," Hoffman said. The corridor is also the way many workers get to and from their jobs, whether they live in Milwaukee County and travel west or vice versa. As such, Hoffman said the corridor is a main hub of commerce in Wisconsin. "From the standpoint of Waukesha County, there are a lot of our growing employ- ers who operate on a region- al and national basis," Hoffman said. Tracy Johnson, president and CEO of coalition mem- ber Commercial Association of Realtors Wisconsin, also spoke during the news con- ference April 5. She believes that if the repairs and improvement to the I-94 project do not occur, it will have a "cascading effect" on the state's econo- my. "The East-West Corridor serves as the gateway for the products, jobs, destinations, and health care and educa- tional institutions that make our region vibrant and strong. While we applaud efforts by the state to elimi- nate waste and inefficiency, stalling this project now would be a major roadblock to Wisconsin's business, job and economic growth," she said in a statement. Johnson would like dis- cussion of the project at the state level and for a solution to be found. Other members of the I-94 East-West Econ Connect include the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, MillerCoors, Marquette University, Palermo's and Forest County Potawatomi. The coalition has sent a letter to members of the Wisconsin Legislature's Joint Committee on Finance. and has established a new website at www.I94EconConnect. com.
