GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The City of Green Bay and the Green Bay Packers have reached an agreement for plaza naming rights for the KI Convention Center expansion.
City planning director Kim Flom says the team will pay the city $200,000 for the naming rights over 20 years. Flom says the conceptual name is Packers Plaza at KI Convention Center.
Flom says the plaza, located at the northwest corner of Main Street and Adams Street, will feature custom paving that includes the Packer logo, four season landscaping, furniture and other decorative site fixtures.
“The agreement is another example of the Packers continued commitment to the community and strong working relationship with the City of Green Bay,” Flom told FOX 11. “Partnerships like this provide a unique opportunity to capitalize on our community’s local assets in order to create authentic and memorable public spaces.”
Green Bay’s Redevelopment Authority will vote on the agreement at its meeting on Tuesday.
The KI Convention Center expansion is expected to cost $23 million. It is expected to be complete by August of next year.
