MillerCoors will provide a major contribution to clean up South Shore Park on the shores of Lake Michigan, the company announced last week.
Chicago-based brewery MillerCoors manufactures much of its product in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee County parks and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences will also assist with the revitalization project.
The entities have formed a long-term plan for sustainable improvements to water and beach quality, preserving the park and offering a safe recreational space.
South Shore Park is in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood, and includes 47.4 acres of recreational areas, sand beaches, public boat launches and a public art display. It has frequently been closed in recent years because of E. Coli contamination.
An announcement will be made Wednesday with further details about the project.
