The Milwaukee County Board on Thursday approved 15-4 the sale of Milwaukee County land in Wauwatosa to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for construction of an engineering campus.
The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors also considered and rejected suggestions ranging from tabling a decision to requiring the county give $2 million from its portion of the land sale toward an engineering scholarship program for women and minorities.
County Executive Scott Walker is expected to approve the sale, said Fran McLaughlin, director of communications.
