hi all!
i’m an out-of-towner who works in municipal politics with a special interest in stadium development, public-private investment in public infrastructure, and generally just any interesting stories about hyper-local development projects that have either benefitted or harmed surrounding community ones. in my own city, we are at multiple impasses with similar proposals that would ultimately force people out of their neighborhoods and end up offering little ROI wrt direct investment from our already debt-ridden city budget. i’ll be visiting titletown in person this week and wondering: is this what a similar project could look like if done right?
the titletown development project surrounding the stadium seems very cool on its face, and i’m not finding anything online pointing to it being controversial so figured i’d go straight to the source.
was this project - from its inception to now - generally liked by community? any history of occupants of the land that is now titletown being pushed out or disenfranchised during its development? and if it’s beloved by community: what makes it work and what are the Packers / other private partners doing right?
excited to learn from yall, thank you!
