ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – The Village of Ashwaubenon plan commission has green lighted some initial approvals for the Packers’ Titletown District.
On Tuesday night, commission members approved some streets to be removed and the Packers’ planned unit development (PUD) application. Both of those still face public hearings and a final vote from the village board.
Officials say these approvals mean the project will stay on track to begin next month.
The Packers unveiled phase one of the Titletown District development plans last August. They included a high-end Kohler hotel, a Bellin Health sports medicine facility, a new Hinterland Brewery and a large public plaza area.
Some neighbors directly impacted by the proposed changes, like how much truck traffic could be coming in, are not happy about it.
“We all know they’ve got their minds made up,” Brad Schumacher told FOX 11. “They don’t care what goes on. We’re not too happy; we’ll put it that way.”
“We’ll continue to talk to them and try to come up with some solutions that can help them out, but at the end of the day sometimes there are issues that you just continue to try to work through and see what kinds of things you can come up with,” said Packers spokesman Aaron Popkey.
The village will have 3 more meetings before a public hearing will be held for both the street removals and the PUD plan. Those hearings are scheduled for March 8. Final approval could be given at that time, allowing the Packers to break ground on the project.
