Green Bay committee accepts $150,000 Fund for Lake Michigan grant for East River Emily Park wetland restoration
Summary
The Improvement and Services Committee approved accepting a three‑year $150,000 grant from the Fund for Lake Michigan to support design and construction phases of the East River Emily Park wetland restoration for flood resiliency.
The City of Green Bay Improvement and Services Committee on Sept. 10 approved accepting a $150,000 grant from the Fund for Lake Michigan to advance the East River Emily Park wetland restoration project.
Public Works staff described the project as a wetland restoration currently under design and said the three‑year grant would help fund remaining design work and eventual construction. "It's a wetland restoration project that is currently under design," a Public Works staff member said during the meeting.
The committee approved the grant acceptances by voice vote after a motion to approve was made and seconded. The item moves to the full Common Council for final action on Sept. 16.
Project background provided at the meeting notes the item follows earlier approval of the project's design phase and that these funds are intended to reduce the city’s share of upcoming construction costs. No construction schedule or contractor was identified during the discussion.
The committee did not identify additional conditions or required local matches in the meeting record; funding details beyond the grant amount and the three‑year term were not specified.
