GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The first hearing in a lawsuit on the fate of the Packers Heritage Trail Plaza will be held Oct. 30.
The Packers Heritage Plaza features the statues of Paul Hornung, Johnny “Blood” (McNally), Bart Starr and team co-founder George Whitney Calhoun, among others. The Plaza also includes a large recognition wall and green space enhancements. It opened in 2013. However, when the city approved plans for an apartment complex on the site, it said the plaza would have to be moved to an undetermined location. Packers Heritage, Inc., sued, seeking to keep the display in its current location at the corner of Washington and Cherry streets.
A judge signed a temporary restraining order preventing Green Bay from disturbing the monument, pending a court hearing. That hearing was originally set for last week, but was postponed when the city asked for a different judge.
The Oct. 30 hearing appeared on Judge Tammy Jo Hock’s calendar today.
The city has not formally replied to the lawsuit, court records show.
