The approved 2019 city budget includes a 3.5% decrease in the property tax levy, driven in large part by a reduction in city debt.

Let’s “Light Up South Milwaukee” again this year!
Visiting again this year, Santa’s Elves will be back looking to honor the South Milwaukee homes and businesses with the best outdoor holiday lights displays.  Winners will receive a small cash prize, a yard sign, and recognition on the city website and Facebook pages – and be the envy of your block, and city.   You can enter more than one address.  The more, the merrier!

All entries must be submitted by December 10th.  Judging will occur on December 14th. The Beautification Committee will be sending out a “scouting elf” during the week of December 10th – so make sure you are ready!
Entries can be submitted via:
  • Pinned post on the City’s Facebook page.
  • Via our Google Form
  • Using our SM Work app – Look for the Light Up South Milwaukee category

The New Look of South Milwaukee
We are reinventing ourselves in South Milwaukee, and as we do it, we are proud to launch our new city brand. We have a lot to be proud of in South Milwaukee, but nothing defines us like Grant Park, which makes Seven Bridges the perfect choice to visually represent who we are, and where we are headed. Add in the “Rocket red” color, typography, and purposeful word choice — including a decision to not go with an official slogan — and we have a logo that is uniquely South Milwaukee. Now the fun begins: Showing off this new mark.
