Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 5th of July.
Good morning, Green Bay.
Green Bay residents raised concerns about rising housing costs and homelessness at a public input meeting—city staff explained that nearly $938,000 from Community Development Block Grant funds and $468,000 from the HOME investment program will support low-to-moderate income neighborhoods. A Zoom raid disrupted online participation when offensive content forced officials to shut down that option for the remainder of the meeting.
AbleLight Thrift Shop held its final day at its North Military Avenue location on July 3 after operating for (47 years) and will move to a larger building.
It will reopen in September at 2269 True Lane in Ashwaubenon with improved donation drop-offs and volunteer programs (designed to help serve more residents).
A colorful community piano installed at Tank Park as part of Tarleton Theatre’s Keys to the City Piano Festival was vandalized and found in pieces less than two months after setup — a similar incident had occurred at Fisk Park — prompting its owner to clean up while police plan to comment after the holiday.
As temperatures remain in the 90s today, the state Department of Health Services warns that residents may suffer heat stroke or heat exhaustion with symptoms such as nausea, headache and dizziness.
People are urged to drink water, stay in the shade and visit cooling centers at NEW Community Shelter at 301 Mather St.—open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.—and at Green Bay Salvation Army at 626 Union Court when highs exceed 85, while pet owners should also ensure their animals have water and cool spaces.
