ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – Officials are expected to learn Monday what options they have in redeveloping the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena and Shopko Hall, both of which are nearing the end of their life spans.
At a meeting of the Green Bay/Brown County Professional Football Stadium District Board, consultants will share the findings of a recently-commissioned adaptive reuse study that looked into the two properties.
The meeting begins at 3:15 pm in the Resch Center and then will move to the Arena for the consultant’s presentation before returning to the Cellcom Room inside the Resch.
Stadium District Executive Director Pat Webb says funds are available to make whatever changes the board approves.
He says Brown County received a disbursement of roughly $4,350,000 in funds that were an excess from the Lambeau Field sales tax.
In addition to the consultant’s report, Webb says the board will also hear a request from the City of Green Bay, who is looking to land a portion of that sales tax sum.
Webb says the city is requesting $500,000 to help fund a $9,000,000 downtown stadium along the west shore of the Fox River for baseball and soccer purposes.
It is possible that the board will vote on that request at the Monday meeting.
