Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) says a seven-story and three-story buildings are ready to come down.
- Video shows demolition underway at the former WPS headquarters in downtown Green Bay.
- The company shut the building down in 2020 and tried to sell the property, but could not get a deal done.
- Demolition and remediation of contaminated land is needed before selling the property.
- Jeff Mirkes, executive director of Downtown Green Bay Inc., said plans for mixed-use developments are expected to fill the space after demolition.
- Exterior and interior demolition is expected to be complete by Spring 2025.

“We’re always looking ahead to the future,” Jeff Mirkes, Downtown Green Bay Inc. executive director, said.
The future is now for 15 acres of land in downtown Green Bay that was home to Wisconsin Public Service’s headquarters.
“This is the best option that allows us to help see the site be successfully redeveloped and helps that process move along faster rather than letting the building stand alone as they are now,” Matt Cullen, WPS spokesperson, said.
