Green Bay is set to transform a long-vacant industrial site into a $32 million public-private powerhouse: a new Metro Fire Department headquarters and 85 affordable apartments, complete with a community space and greenway. Construction kicks off this fall, with foundations going in before winter and the fire station breaking ground in spring 2027 — both slated for completion by 2028. After two years without a proper station, this centrally located facility will dramatically improve emergency response times. The city’s approval of funding and tax incentives, plus General Capital Group’s swift move to build, marks a major win for public safety and urban renewal — turning a contaminated lot into a vibrant, stormwater-smart neighborhood hub.

Critics slam the move as ignoring the bigger problem: targeted marketing to youth. While the FDA sees value in helping adults quit smoking, especially with menthol flavors, health pros warn the risks to teens remain unproven and potentially dangerous.

Waupaca County law enforcement is pausing its Flock Safety license plate reader system after realizing the risks of losing control over sensitive data — even with responsible use, the tech’s connection to broader networks could expose victims and ongoing investigations through public records requests in other states. While the system has proven vital for solving cross-jurisdictional crimes, the agencies are prioritizing privacy and investigative integrity, opting to wait until stronger safeguards emerge before restarting the program.
