GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A Green Bay committee has approved a deal involving naming rights on part of the KI Convention Center expansion project.
On Tuesday, the city's Redevelopment Authority okayed a 20-year naming rights agreement with the Green Bay Packers for $200,000. It will be the naming rights for a future outdoor plaza.
The agreement, according to city leaders, was priced based on prior naming agreements. It still needs to be approved by the full city council.
However, Mayor Jim Schmitt says that a much larger deal involving naming rights for the grand ballroom is ready to be announced in a few weeks.
“We have a verbal commitment on that, we still want to make sure everybody’s in town when we announce that," Schmitt told FOX 11. "So, you know, it’s a lot of good people here in Green Bay and they were happy to do that, and we’re just kind of working out some details.”
