GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A downtown Green Bay development effort is heading to the city council after receiving approval Tuesday from the Redevelopment Authority.
The proposed $11-million dollar Shipyard Project could be built along the Fox River and play host to Green Bay Bullfrogs, concerts, and other events.
Economic Development Director Kevin Vonck says “multi-season, multi-purpose events, and the things we’ve been talking about all along are still in the conversation of what we want to do from sports, but also again, what we want to do providing an opportunity for our community to use this facility.”
City officials say 88-percent of the more than 60 resident responses to a neighborhood survey of those living within the boundaries of 9th to Walnut and State to Ashland felt the Shipyard would have a positive impact on their community.
