*UPDATE as of 8:00 p.m. Monday* At Monday’s City Plan Commission meeting, the Green Bay Planning Committee voted unanimously to approve a request to develop the property with conditions. The plans to develop this land will now go in front of the full Green Bay Common Council at its next meeting next Tuesday, January 21st.
The prime real estate on the corner of Lombardi Avenue and Ridge Road — once known as Vainisi Plaza and now dubbed Lombardi Time Square — could finally be more than a parking lot, if Green Bay city leaders like a new plan to develop it.
- The plan is being discussed at Monday’s City Plan Commission meeting, and likely again at the Tuesday, January 21 Common Council meeting.
- It calls for a five-story building (up to 75 feet tall) with office and retail space on the corner of Lombardi and Ridge, and a four-story building on the corner of Ridge and Thorndale Street with office space and 24 apartments.
- The plan also indicates it would include 119 outdoor parking stalls and 64 underground parking stalls in total.
- The developer is Tim Keuhn of Keuhn Ridge Holdings, who also owns nearby Margarita’s Restaurant — Keuhn could not be reached for comment on Monday.
- The video shows the perspective of a Green Bay city planner who says the city is excited about the project, and a neighborhood association president who is against the current version of the plan.
