GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – An upscale hotel proposed near Lambeau Field received an endorsement from the city’s Plan Commission Friday night.
The 100-room, all-suites Legacy Hotel would be built on the site of the former Brett Favre’s Steakhouse, a couple of blocks east of the stadium.
Because the zoning in that area contains a height limit of 45’ – and proposed six-story facility would be 81’ feet tall – a conditional use permit is needed for the project.
Other city approvals are still needed. The developers are looking for about $5 million in city assistance through the use of tax incentives after the project is done.
The hotel could open by December 2023.
