Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers will use $36 million from the state to be put toward projects Republicans didn’t include in the 2024 biannual state budget, including one in Green Bay and another in Door County.
$330,000 will go toward upgrades at the Door County Peninsula Theater in Fish Creek.
$7 million will go toward the Green Bay National Railroad Museum expansion to meet the growing need for museum offerings, accessibility, and immersive programming.
The rest of the money will go toward other projects around the state including two in Milwaukee and one in Janesville.
Evers says, “From creating a premier cultural tourism destination to welcome visitors from across our state and country to providing educational and entertainment opportunities for students and visitors folks of all ages, these projects were clearly missed opportunities during the Capital Budget process, and the economic impact of these investments will pay dividends for our future economic success.”
