On Monday, June 19, 2017, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and Dawn Sanders, the daughter of the late Welford Sanders were present for a ribbon cutting ceremony in celebration of the completion of the Welford Sanders Enterprise Center. The ceremony also included a groundbreaking for the Welford Sanders Historic Lofts. Both facilities will be housed in the former Nunn Bush Shoe Factory, 2821 N. 4th Street. The building had been vacant for more than 30 years before Sunset Investors President Kendall Breunig purchased the historic site for $220,000 and donated it to the city. Welford Sanders was the long-time executive director of the not-for-profit Martin Luther King Economic Development Corporation. His leadership is credited with helping to improve and increase affordable housing and business in the Harambee neighborhood of Milwaukee. Sanders, who passed away two years ago, had long sought to redevelop the Nunn Bush building into a center for growth in the neighborhood. Now that dream has finally been fulfilled though a joint effort of his family and community. An NCON Communications Publication
