Governor Doyle Statement on MillerCoors Plans
MADISON – Governor Jim Doyle today issued the following statement on the MillerCoors announcement that it would locate its headquarters in Chicago and invest in the Milwaukee Brewery so that Milwaukee will always be the home of Miller beers:
“A strong, thriving MillerCoors is important to Wisconsin just as it is to Colorado. I am disappointed that MillerCoors believed that the joint venture headquarters, for corporate governance reasons, would have to be at a neutral site and that neither Milwaukee nor Golden would be considered.
“MillerCoors has been open in their discussions with me throughout this process, and I am pleased they are making a significant expansion to the Milwaukee Brewery. Their investment in Milwaukee will greatly increase production and add significantly more brewery jobs.
“We will continue to work with the new MillerCoors to make sure that Milwaukee will always be the home of Miller beer.”
