The Packers Heritage Trail Plaza in downtown Green Bay will be moved and a hearing on the matter scheduled for tomorrow has been canceled, according to court documents.
Earlier this month, Packers Heritage Trail, Inc. filed a lawsuit against the City of Green Bay over plans to move the plaza from its current location at the corner of N Washington St. and Cherry St in order to make way for a new 268-unit apartment building project proposal in the same lot where the plaza currently stands.
Now, a day before a hearing was scheduled in Brown County Circuit Court, the parties have “reached an agreement to avoid the need for further litigation,” according to David H. Weber, who represented the Packers Heritage Trail, Inc.
“The resolution allows the City removal of the Packers Heritage Plaza to make way for the City’s preferred development project,” Webber said in a letter to Judge Tammy J. Hock. “While my client does not wish to keep the City from moving forward in its preferred direction, it also needs to protect the Heritage Plaza.”
