Construction began on the $500 million paper mill in 2018, and it replaces the seven-decades-old Green Bay Paper Mill. e new facility will produce environmentally friendly and high-quality packaging products. e mill will be equipped with the latest technology and equipment, including a high-performance XcelLine paper machine, which can operate at a speed of 3,940 feet per minute. "We are thankful they decided to build a new plant here. It's the first new paper plant in decades," Vonck says. "It's good news not only for Green Bay Packaging and its employees, but also its supply chain and its ancillary services." Near Lambeau Field, the city continues to make updates in its Legends District, which is bounded by Lombardi Avenue, Ashland Avenue and the Village of Ashwaubenon. "It's designed to be a year- round area that will draw people from the area and beyond," Vonck says. "New sidewalks and lighting will make it a better pedestrian experience." Plans for a new hotel in the district — e Legacy — continue to move forward, says Vonck, adding construction will soon start on the five-story, 79-room hotel. It's being built on the site of the former Brett Favre Steakhouse. And while Titletown is located in Ashwaubenon, the Green Bay Packers recently bought the Lyndahl Funeral Home property across the street from it in the city. Plans have yet to be announced for the property. "Our initial goal was 200 housing units and we have surpassed that. e dense urban living in the downtown is important to have as you look to add different amenities." — Brian Johnson, executive director, On Broadway The Legacy is a new five-story boutique hotel being built in the city's Legends District near Lambeau Field. The hotel will have 79 rooms and be located on the site of the former Brett Favre Steakhouse.
