AGENDA ITEM # E.1
Consideration with possible action to award $204,000.00 of TIDAH funding to support Veterans 1st of
NEW housing development.
BACKGROUND
Veterans 1st of NEW is a non-profit organization constructing 21 units of affordable, supportive housing for
veterans who are struggling with homelessness. In addition to offering housing units, onsite supportive
services will be provided to meet the mental, physical, and emotional needs of the veterans they are serving.
The housing development is located on parcel #21-283-3, the former location of the Brown County Mental
Health Center on St. Anthony Drive. Development will occur in three phases, the first of which is the
construction of 7 homes and the community center. Site work is already underway to prepare for building
construction. Total development cost for the project is $4,430,585.00.
Due to the unexpected discovery of old foundations from the previous use of the site, additional costs
related to utility work and excavation, the project has incurred overruns. To help offset those budget
overruns, Veterans 1st is requesting $204,000.00 of TIDAH funds.
Staff has reviewed the request from Veterans 1st and is in support of funding their project at $204,000.00 on
a reimbursement basis.
RECOMMENDATION
To award Veterans 1st of NEW $204,000.00 of TIDAH funds on a reimbursement basis to support their
housing development located on St. Anthony Drive.

AGENDA ITEM # E.3
Consideration with possible action to approve a resolution authorizing the submittal of a WEDC Idle Sites
grant application for the redevelopment of the Fire Station Flats site on South Broadway.
BACKGROUND
The WEDC's Idle Sites Redevelopment Program provides financial assistance to municipalities for the
redevelopment of large, underutilized, or abandoned commercial and industrial sites. Eligible activities include
environmental remediation, demolition, site preparation, infrastructure improvements, and other
redevelopment-related costs. The program aims to improve the economic health and tax base of
communities by returning larger vacant sites to development-ready status. Applicants may receive one award
per fiscal year.
If awarded, the ISR program grant will be used to support the ongoing environmental remediation, site
preparation, and redevelopment activities of the proposed Fire Station Flats site on South Broadway in the
Shipyard corridor. A public-private partnership between the City and General Capital Group, the project will
transform the long-idle industrial brownfield property into an innovative mixed-use project featuring a new
metro fire station integrated with affordable multifamily housing, community space, and a public greenway.
The City has completed extensive environmental remediation, asbestos abatement, building demolition,
removal of underground structures and tanks, and site preparation activities utilizing U.S. Department of the
Treasury Emergency Relief Assistance (ERA) funding administered by Brown County. Additional financial
resources are required to finalize soil management, monitoring well abandonment, residual contamination
work, and greenway construction, as well as to offset infrastructure costs associated with redevelopment.
While the RDA's existing EPA Brownfield Cleanup Grant will provide funding for these additional activities,
the $250,000 ISR program grant will fill a critical remaining funding gap, ensuring the site can be redeveloped
by General Capital Group.
WEDC requires the Common Council pass a resolution authorizing submission of the grant application and
designating an individual with authority to execute the application and any subsequent documents. The
accompanying resolution fulfills this requirement.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve a resolution authorizing the submittal of a WEDC Idle Sites grant application for the
redevelopment of the Fire Station Flats site on South Broadway and forward it to the Common Council for
adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff intends to apply for the maximum ISR grant of $250,000, which will support development costs and
strengthen overall project feasibility. This program requires a 3:1 funding match; however, this requirement
100 North Jefferson Street, Green Bay, Wisconsin 54301-5026
greenbaywi.gov
will be met through the RDA's existing EPA Brownfield Cleanup Grant, so no additional City financial
contribution is necessary to leverage this state investment.

Idle Sites Redevelopment Program
Program Guidelines for Fiscal Year 2026
Lead Division: Business and Community Development
☐ New ☒ Revised 7/1/2025
☒Grant ☐ Loan ☐Tax Credit ☐Technical Assistance
Introduction
Background Information: The Idle Sites Redevelopment (ISR) program offers grants to
Wisconsin communities for the redevelopment of sites that have been idle, abandoned, or
underused for at least two years. Blighted properties may be perceived as eyesores that
can lead to decreased property tax revenue for a community. The Idle Sites
Redevelopment Program provides incentives to help rejuvenate abandoned blighted sites,
in turn elevating local economies. Approved projects can use funds for demolition,
environmental remediation, infrastructure, and/or site-specific improvements to advance
the site to shovel ready status or enhance the site’s market attractiveness.
Program’s Purpose: The program offers grants to Wisconsin communities for the
redevelopment of sites that have been idle, abandoned, or underused for at least two
years, elevating local economies. Blighted properties may be perceived as eyesores that
can lead to decreased property tax revenue for a community. Approved projects can use
funds for demolition, environmental remediation, infrastructure or site-specific
improvements to advance the site to shovel ready status or enhance the site’s market
attractiveness.

each party that must be executed prior to the first draw of ISR funds.
• If the project does not have a private developer, provide an officially approved
resolution that describes the project and its goals, anticipated outcomes, project
timeline, and actions, obligations and investments necessary to achieve
redevelopment.
• Provide a signed resolution by the governing elected body authorizing the submittal
of an application to the ISR program.
