GREEN BAY (WTAQ-WLUK) — A decision was made Friday on who owns a historic hotel in downtown Green Bay.
Judge Atkinson ruled Keith Harenda the sole owner of the Hotel Northland. His partner, Mike Frantz, has no ownership rights. Redevelopment work has been slowed immensely since the start of 2017 due to an ongoing lawsuit between the project’s two original developers.
Harenda considered himself the owner of the building after buying out Frantz.
Frantz claimed he still owns 50 percent and would like to have a say in the project through its finish.
According to Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt, workers should be back on the site May 1 finishing work on the 93-year-old hotel.
As of January 2017, crews said the hotel’s work was 70 percent finished.
