Riverworks Center

Riverworks Development Corporation (RDC) previously named the Northeast Milwaukee Industrial Development Corporation (NMIDC) was created through a partnership of public and private organizations. RDC was created to assist with the very necessary redevelopment of the east Capitol Drive corridor.

For many years the area had been home to many major businesses. When those businesses disinvested or relocated the area began to deteriorate. In an effort to restore economic vitality to the business and residential community, Riverworks was created.

Today Riverworks is celebrating 20 years of serving local and national businesses and working to retain and attract new businesses to the area thereby ensuring that this area is economically healthy. However, an economically healthy area is an area where the residents are also economically healthy. To that end RDC created the Financial Opportunity Center with a mission to help the area's residents become financial stable through benefits, financial education, and workforce development coaching.
