LocalData App - funded by Knight

[Todd Clausen]

LocalData is a Code for America app that was developed by programmers
working with urban planners and community advocates in Detroit and
further funded by a Knight Foundation grant. We should look at doing
something with this app for Milwaukee if not working directly with
them.

This is pretty cool.

What's starting to get a little frustrating is that there are many similarities between Milwaukee and Detroit, but we are sort of "off the map" when it comes to data projects.

I'd like to add this to the MDI site and put it out in a newsletter.
