Former Pulliam Power Plant Site Parcel Will Host Salt Operations
(Brown County, Wis.) – Brown County is pleased to announce it has reached a sixty-year (60) agreement with C. Reiss Terminals, LLC to lease the northern portion of the former Pulliam Power Plant site.
“I’m extremely happy that both sides were able to seize this historic opportunity by agreeing to a long-term lease agreement that will have the utmost positive economic impact on Brown County and Northeast Wisconsin,” says Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach. “Thank you to our internal Brown County team, the Brown County Board of Supervisors, and the City of Green Bay for their cooperation and support during this complicated process, and to the State of Wisconsin and the Federal Government for their assistance.”
On April 21, the Brown County Board of Supervisors approved the Port Lease Agreement with C. Reiss Terminals, LLC, subject to any minor, non-material changes to the lease that the parties may agree to. Following continued discussions and final review, the parties have reached agreement on the final lease language.
“C. Reiss is pleased to have reached agreement with Brown County on a long-term lease for the northern section of the former Pulliam Plant site,” says C. Reiss CEO Keith Haselhoff. “This is an important step forward in the effort to expand capacity at the Port of Green Bay, facilitate the relocation of coal piles from the downtown Mason Street riverfront, and advance the community’s long-standing goal of redeveloping that site. C. Reiss has proudly served the Green Bay community for more than 100 years, and we appreciate the work of Brown County, the City of Green Bay, and our state and federal partners to move this project forward. We look forward to continuing to work cooperatively with the County as the parties move into execution and implementation.”
“This agreement will further enhance the Port of Green Bay’s current $217 million annual economic impact on our region by providing opportunities for long-term growth,” says Port of Green Bay Director Dean Haen.
“This lease illustrates that when the Board and Administration work together on historic projects like Port Development, we collectively can set the course of economic and community prosperity for the next 100 years,” says Brown County Board of Supervisors Chairman Patrick Buckley.
Brown County Executive Streckenbach stated the City of Green Bay is now on deck to work with C. Reiss Terminals, LLC, to redevelop the Mason Street site.
