Landmarks Commission 8-19-2026

The City of Green Bay Landmarks Commission held a meeting on August 19, 2026, primarily addressing issues related to a property facing demolition by neglect.

The meeting also included officer elections and a brief discussion about a scam email impersonating commission officials. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were reported during this meeting.
