WEST ALLIS — West Allis has won the Strongest Town Contest, defeating Madison and 14 other cities across North America.
West Allis showcased the innovative and community-driven work that has helped the city.

For a town to be a "Strong Town," it needs to show that it is building a vibrant neighborhood, strengthening local economies, and planning for long-term success.
West Allis not only received the title of "2026 Strongest Town," but they will also be receiving a trophy, a mini-documentary about the community, a visit from land-use planner and founder/president of Strongest Towns, Chuck Marohn, and swag items from Strongest Town.
