Green Bay Converting hits key milestone in fire recovery | Exclusive
More than six months after a devastating fire amid a historic March blizzard , Green Bay Converting quietly passed a significant milestone in its effort to rebuild and restore its west-side operations. The City of Green Bay in September issued a $21.95 million building permit to the company to rebuild the warehouse at 320 Elgin Road.
