Federal grant will help redevelop Green Bay's riverfront
Published February 15, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has been awarded a federal grant of $764,790 for the Fox Riverfront development in downtown Green Bay.
The grant includes funding for transient docks for boats 26 feet and larger, fixed and floating gangways and piers, and a portion of the design, engineering and mobilization costs. In its entirety, the Fox Riverfront project will cost an estimated $4 million and will feature an urban boardwalk along the river's edge with boat landings, docks, fishing piers, overlooks, and a connection to the Fox River State Trail.
The federal grant is from the Boating Infrastructure Grant Program (BIG-P) Tier II, and funds are awarded based upon national competition.
"This award will help us continue to revitalize Green Bay's waterfront," said Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle. “"he Fox River is the heart of the city and the riverfront development will significantly increase public access to the river, bring more visitors downtown, and create boating, fishing and recreational opportunities in the area. It will help us grow the Green Bay economy."
