Green Bay staff reports 100% approval rate in 2025, seeks grant for Astor Park National Register nomination
Summary
Staff told the Landmarks Commission they compiled a semiannual report showing a 100% approval rate in 2025, noted a sign-base replacement at the former Pepper location, and said the city applied for a CLG subgrant to prepare a National Register nomination for the Astor Park District.
At the January meeting of the Landmarks Commission, staff reported one recent Certificate of Appropriateness (a sign-base replacement at the former Pepper location) and described a new semiannual reporting practice for the commission’s work.
Staff stated that the commission’s paperwork showed a 100% approval rating for the year 2025. "This past year in 2025, we had a 100% approval rating," staff said, and explained semiannual reports will go to the public council to summarize application types, approval rates, and the commission’s overall approval history.
Staff presenter Jason said the commission recently applied for a Certified Local Government (CLG) subgrant through the Wisconsin Historical Society to hire a subcontractor to write a National Register nomination for the Astor Park District. He described neighborhood meetings held last year and said the city had been shortlisted previously; staff expressed optimism about the current application.
No funding amounts or specific subcontractor names were provided during the meeting, and staff noted the application outcome is contingent on state and federal pass-through funding. The commission set its next meeting for Feb. 18, 2026, and adjourned.
No formal actions associated with the CLG application were taken at the meeting; the grant application was described as an informational update.
