Milwaukee
Milwaukee means "gathering place by the water" and truly it is. Lake Michigan borders this fabulous city and provides a great place for Southeastern Wisconsin homes! Milwaukee is one of the leading ports in the country, linked to the Great Lakes chain, the St Lawrence Seaway and further beyond. This has helped maintain Milwaukee as a world leader for imports and exports! 33 shipping lines enter this port, and everything from cement, coal, plywood, cars, salt, and petroleum are among the inbound commodities. Heavy machinery, leather, lumber and iron are just some of the outbound commodities.
