Madison, Wis.—Floor360, a leading provider of design-driven flooring, announced the completion of the interior makeovers of Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center in Madison and Walker’s Point Youth & Family Center in Milwaukee through its sponsorship of Design for a Difference movement.

In June, Floor360 Milwaukee, in partnership with Milwaukee Magazine, announced that Walker’s Point Youth and Family Center would receive a charity makeover.
