Hello South Milwaukee community members,

We’d like to invite you to take part in our downtown storefront competition voting process and help shape our local business community.

Space Race is a storefront competition where entrepreneurs pitch business ideas for a space in downtown South Milwaukee. In the link below, you will find 9 pitch videos.

Voting Link: https://uwwhitewater.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5vVjeZvm58iS9jE

Each video features one local business idea. As you watch, rate how much you like or support each idea. There is no right or wrong answer. Go with your honest reaction and whether you would like to see the business downtown.

• Rate each video from 1 to 10 • 1 = not a good fit • 10 = love it and would strongly support it

You can vote once per video. Each video is about 3 minutes long.

Thanks for supporting local entrepreneurs. Your input truly makes a difference.

On April 7, 2026, City of South Milwaukee voters will be asked if they support a $425,000 increase in the property tax levy going forward to restore services at the public library to pre-pandemic levels via a referendum.
