"Milwaukee County supervisors announced Tuesday that an agreement to ensure the futures of the Milwaukee Art Museum and War Memorial has been reached.County Board Chair Marina Dimitrijevic announced that the War Memorial and Art Museum will receive more than $1.5 million per year from the county for the next 10 years, including an investment of $1.1 million for the Art Museum and $486,000 for the War Memorial.The County also plans to invest in a $10 million capital improvement plan for the publicly owned portions of the War Memorial and Art Museum grounds.\"This is an historic agreement because not only do both organizations benefit, but all of Milwaukee County benefits,\" said Supervisor John Weishan.Dimitrijevic requested the assistance of Supreme Court Justice Janine Geske to help mediate talks after the two groups originally reached an impasse.\"I believe that having Justice Geske mediate the discussion between the two groups was a key to reaching this historic agreement,\" Dimitrijevic said. \"This is a win-win-win for the Milwaukee Art Museum, the War Memorial and the taxpayers of Milwaukee County.\"The agreement now heads to the county's Finance, Personnel and Audit committee on Thursday before being presented to the full County Board."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
