Green Bay Packers Foundation grant for Conservation Corps

AmeriCorps crew members receive a $975 biweekly living allowance; partnership projects run $6,000-$7,500 per week.

Recycling contamination at Bay Beach Amusement Park

A reverse vending machine would run roughly $6,000–$7,000 plus ongoing licensing and reward subsidies, and the city won't pay for it without a sponsor or grant.

School food waste composting pilot

Pilot-scale only for now; any district-wide composting infrastructure would be a much larger future ask.

Solar for Good grant opportunity

30% federal tax credit on DPW garage projects plus 10% more on the west side; the 53-acre lease will generate higher lease revenue for the city than current farming payments.

Nuisance tree ordinance and UWGB trees

Safe Streets for All grant project

Funded by a federal grant with a consultant team already mobilized.

Nuisance tree ordinance for private property

Enforcement could require overtime or contractor spending and possibly new equipment — costs the forestry department says it currently can't cover.

Flood resiliency projects and Green Tier reporting

$2.1 million for Emily Park (about half grant-funded) and $8 million for Van Beaver Park, still seeking grant funding.

Home Electrification seminar

Free to attend, and rebates discussed could offset electric upgrade costs for homeowners.

Waste Reduction Work Group activity

2027 recycling agreement with Brown County

No cost to the city.

EPA Brownfields program progress

$500,000 in new EPA assessment funding; $374,000 greenway construction contract awarded.

Reverse vending machine pilot at Bay Beach Amusement Park

The machine would be purchased, leased, or sponsor-funded, with sponsors also sought for ride-ticket rewards — costs aren't nailed down yet.

Household food waste reduction grant

Unknown grant amount; requires significant staff time for a 15-page narrative plus federal-compliance reporting.

Atkinson Marsh Restoration (AOC) Project

$1,714,331.19 contract.

Neighbors for Nature pollinator program

Program relies on donations worth over $5,000 each from Green Bay Botanical Garden and Stone Silo.

Rooftop solar at Public Works

$53,000 for design work.

Energize Green Bay clean energy campaign results

Residents can still save big on energy upgrades, but most federal solar and wind tax credits end July 4 — geothermal incentives remain.

Native plant kit giveaway and pollinator corridor

Kits are free to residents; funding came partly from community donations including several thousand dollars from Union Congregational Church.
