The Milwaukie Arts Committee has received approval from City Council to start outreach to the community about a new mural program in Milwaukie. Dubbed the “Milwaukie Mural Arts Program” (MMAP), this initiative would allow murals in commercial and industrial zones—putting Milwaukie on the MMAP. The proposed MMAP design and code changes will be reviewed by Planning Commission and City Council in the Spring-Summer of 2012.
