Making Every Life Special
Creating an inclusive community that meets the needs of disabled people has been a long-term dream of Mel’s Charities. That dream is becoming a reality as Mel’s Village develops in the south campus of the 99-acre Northern Gateway Community Collective in Saukville. Mel’s Village will provide a place for people of all abilities to live, work, play, and thrive.
Construction is underway at both the north and south campuses.
Stay tuned for more updates on this game-changing development.
Mel’s Village will feature a public plaza with splash pad, a band shell and community green space.
25% of the market-rate apartments will be set aside for people with disabilities. Retail businesses in Mel’s Village will hire these residents.
