The Green Bay Finance Committee voted unanimously March 11 to refer back to staff a proposal to dedicate ARPA funding toward construction of an "urban barn" (urban farm building) at the new GBS Park, after more than an hour of committee discussion and public comment.
The proposal on the agenda asked the committee to consider dedicating ARPA funds from an allocation set aside for community and economic development and parks projects toward construction of a barn-like building to support an adjacent urban farm, and to provide limited public restrooms and storage.
