Many of the historic and industrial businesses along the Fox River have contributed to the life of Green Bay residents Attention: Kevin Vonck email: [email protected] geographically, historically, economically and culturally. We understand the City of Redevelopment Authority of the Green Bay has undertaken the first steps of envisioning The Shipyard as a regional City of Green Bay destination that will draw people year-round to the waterfront. The vision is to provide 100 North Jefferson Street, a rich assortment of attractions including soccer, football, rugby, lacrosse, ice hockey, Room 608 ice skating, concerts, festivals, large-screen viewing, runs, walks, markets and other Green Bay, Wisconsin 54301 special events. The site may include unique features: container park, urban beach, playground, splash pad, boat slips, floating docks, and various pedestrian connections and amenities (restrooms, concessions, and locker rooms). Stantec has assembled a team of national experts to help the City’s vision become reality! Global Experience, Local Presence Our global experience, with local office presence in the Green Bay area, brings cutting edge talents and abilities to the City of Green Bay. Stantec is known nationwide for major projects, including our design of the renovation to Wrigley Field for the Chicago Cubs, Navy Pier in Chicago, the UW-Madison Student Athletic Performance Center and our pedestrian modeling work for the past four Olympic Games. While these examples are very recognizable projects, every project, large or small, is important to that community, which makes it important to the Stantec team. We are excited to collaborate with Robert E. Lee & Associates (REL) who will be providing civil engineering support services for various public improvements and Berners Schober Architects, who will be the architect of record, to further solidify our local roots in Green Bay. At Stantec, we design with community in mind. Strong Relationships and Intimate Knowledge of The Shipyard Property Our award-winning brownfield team has worked in partnership with the City’s Economic Development staff over the past six years and helped the City obtain and implement $900,000 in federal brownfield grant funding, leveraging over $16.8 million in private investment funds, and approximately $4.1 million from other funding sources. Together with the City, Stantec has been working on The Shipyard project for the past two years, completing environmental assessments of 17 separate parcels, including The Shipyard, to facilitate redevelopment and acquisition of non-City owned parcels essential to this redevelopment effort. Through this process we have been involved in countless meetings with City officials, developers, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and other state and federal officials to discuss redevelopment strategies, funding options and cleanup alternatives. Through this process we have first-hand knowledge of The Shipyard and concise understanding of the City’s goals and the impacts this redevelopment will have, not only to South Broadway but the surrounding neighborhood and the City as a whole. Design with community in mind Page 2 Unmatched Experience We have historically provided brownfield services to the City, however, our local staff Attention: Kevin Vonck offers a diverse range of expertise in all disciplines required to successfully complete RE: Development of The Shipyard design and engineering for The Shipyard.
