GREEN BAY – Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) recently presented a $150,000 donation to the Green Bay Public Market Capital Campaign.
WPS’s Pat Schillinger said the funds come from the WPS Foundation, which supports initiatives for community and neighborhood development, health and human services, arts and culture, education and environment.
“The WPS Foundation is proud to help On Broadway, Inc. (OBI) create this transformational space in the heart of our community,” he said.
Schillinger said the foundation’s support of the Green Bay Public Market “will (help) enhance access to healthy food options,” while giving local businesses new opportunities to thrive in the city’s downtown area.
“We’re excited to see this project come to life as part of our commitment to build a vibrant future for our communities,” he said.
Brian Johnson, president/CEO of On Broadway, Inc., said the Green Bay Public Market Capital Campaign is ongoing, and new or additional donors are welcome.
Johnson said WPS Foundation’s support not only reflects its investment in OBI’s vision but also “reinforces the importance of accessible, vibrant public spaces that foster economic growth and community well-being.”
“The foundation’s commitment to building stronger, healthier and more connected communities is perfectly aligned with the goals of this project, and we are grateful for their generous donation,” he said.
