Gov. Tony Evers announced in a recent press release that he’s investing $36.6 million into building projects across the state in Janesville, Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Door County. The projects were previously rejected by members of the Wisconsin State Legislature in the 2023–25 Capital Budget process.
The governor’s investment is projected to support over 400 jobs and nearly $68 million in economic activity. Funded using American Rescue Plan Act funds, the effort will ensure the projects can move forward and have long-term impacts on the state’s workforce and economy.
Gov. Evers’ building project investments include:
- $15 million for the Janesville Sports and Convention Center;
- $9.3 million for a new Milwaukee Iron District soccer stadium;
- $7 million for the Green Bay National Railroad Museum expansion;
- $5 million for the Bronzeville Center for the Arts on the site of the former Wisconsin DNR building in Milwaukee; and
- $330,000 for the Door County Peninsula Players Theatre upgrades.
