Madison, WI (WTAQ) – The state Senate is scheduled to vote today (Tuesday) on a bipartisan bill that would give the Green Bay Packers’ Titletown District extra liquor licenses.
Although the Village of Ashwaubenon is at its limit for liquor licenses, the legislation would allow neighboring communities to sell up to three unused liquor licenses to the village. The district could also get two additional licenses because of the size of the development.
The Assembly passed the bill on a voice vote last month. A Senate committee unanimously approved the measure last week.
If the full Senate passes the legislation, it heads to the governor’s desk.
Gov. Scott Walker indicated in December he would likely support the measure. He says Lambeau Field is one of the state’s top tourism destinations, and he’s interested in ways to help the area expand more.
In August, the Packers unveiled plans for the 34 acres west of Lambeau Field the organization owns.
