"Senior Advisor to President Biden and Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Tom Perez, Mayor Genrich, and United Way of Brown County CEO Robyn Davis, will showcase City East Center, a three-story federally-funded affordable housing project. These units would adhere to green and universal design standards that can make buildings both more sustainable and accessible to all people, regardless of ability."

The project, funded in part through President Biden's American Rescue Plan Act, was built on previously vacant city-owned land and includes 43 apartments, with 36 set aside for households making less than 60% of the area's median income. The first floor of the City East building will be occupied by United Way of Brown County, serving primarily as a community gathering space thanks to a $1 million federal grant secured with the help of U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin's office.

"In addition, Director Perez will be touring the location of the Coal Piles, which will be moved to create a mixed-use development with support from the federal government and Governor Evers."

The upcoming Press Conference and Tour, scheduled for Thursday, April 18th, 2024, will feature key figures such as Mayor of Green Bay, Eric Genrich, White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Tom Perez, CEO of United Way of Brown County, Robyn Davis, and Keith Haselhoff from C. Reiss Coal Company. The event will take place at 1165 E Walnut Street and 111 W Mason St in Green Bay, WI.
