Activities to be performed the project funds the redevelopment of a former power plant site into a new port terminal at the port of green BAY

The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration awarded County of Brown $54,669,765 on February 3, 2026, through the Port Infrastructure Development Program (CFDA 20.823) to redevelop a 44-acre former power plant site into an active port terminal at the Port of Green Bay.

The project funds engineering services, design, and construction supervision alongside physical infrastructure delivery. Work includes installation of approximately 1,750 linear feet of pipe combi wall dock structures with north and south returns, cutoff cantilever wall segments, rear support systems including deadman waler and tieback provisions, and timber rub rail and egress ladder installation. The scope encompasses dredging and dredge disposal, site fill placement and grading behind dock walls, stormwater collection and treatment facilities, utilities installation, asphalt resurfacing of new roads, bollard placement, truck scales, and grading provisions for future rail access (rail easement alignment only; no track construction). Environmental monitoring and turbidity control planning, site preparation including clearing, demolition, temporary erosion control, and fencing, and full on-site construction supervision with quality assurance, quality control testing, and record-keeping are included. Deliverables include final design and construction documents, construction reports, testing submittals, and record drawings.

The site is located at 1530 Bylsby Avenue at the mouth of the Fox River in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in an exclusively industrial area adjacent to Interstate Highway 43 and Canadian National Rail Lines. Period of performance extends from February 3, 2026, through October 31, 2028. The award is assistance funding on a reimbursable basis.

The project includes the following elements engineering services construction of new dock walls and bulkheads dredging and dredge disposal placement of fill behind dock wall and bulkheads construction of stormwater collection and treatment facilities installation of bollards asphalt resurfacing new roads and utilities and truck scales. Deliverables expected outcomes the project is the redevelopment of a roughly 44 acre former power plant site into an active port terminal. The site located at 1530 bylsby avenue at the mouth of the FOX river in the city of green BAY is in an exclusively industrial area of the community adjacent to interstate highway 43 and canadian national rail lines. The project will include the following component 1 engineering design construction supervision & quality assurance QA.
