GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Green Bay’s Redevelopment Authority has approved a proposed two story, 71-unit apartment complex in the downtown.
It would sit on top of the ramp at the corners of Washington and Cherry Streets.
Kevin Vonck is the city’s Economic Development Director…
“It’s a parking ramp, it’s a public amenity… it doesn’t really generate any taxes. So, if we’re able to get some private development in part of the mix, that’s a win for the city.”
Garritt Bader of Green Bay Real Estate Investments LLC is happy with Tuesday’s vote.
“It’s a great benefit financially to a city. We always stress that there’s other bridges to be crossed…but this is the first big one to push the project forward.”
If it’s built, it would be the tallest residential building in Green Bay.
And the city said, it will provide views of the Leo Frigo bridge, the bay, downtown and Lambeau Field.
