DE PERE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The long-awaited groundbreaking for the Mulva Cultural Center in De Pere is set for Thursday morning.
De Pere natives James and Miriam Mulva are funding the entire project at the southeast corner of the roundabout at the eastern side of the Claude Allouez Bridge. The most recent estimate put the cost of the project at $95 million.
The venue, with a 200-seat auditorium and LED screen, is expected to host Smithsonian-level museum exhibits and bring in approximately 100,000 visitors a year. The center is expected to have an annual economic impact of $3.1 million.
Plans for the center were first announced in 2015.
