3803 is a proposed 6,000 sq. ft. commercial development in the Sherman Park neighborhood of Milwaukee, planned to be renovated into a maker's space. The Milky Way Tech Hub, operating within this space, will focus on STEM education, entrepreneurship, and community building to create opportunities in technology and foster community wealth. The hub will offer a co-working area, lounge, conference room, and auditorium style room for programming aimed at bridging the digital divide, preparing the workforce, and supporting aspiring tech founders. It will also host monthly meetups to increase diversity in tech and provide professional development. The location, surrounded by business districts, is seen as an ideal site to foster economic growth and recovery in the wake of the Sherman Park neighborhood uprising.

The WI Preservation committed to partnering on this project as it aligns well with their mission to promote neighborhood revitalization, expand the availability of affordable housing and preserve Wisconsin’s architectural heritage through the preservation of historic buildings.
