Reader asks why the Brown County poor farm in Green Bay existed
Reader question: I just read your article about the Brown County poor farm cemetery. Nicely done. Now we need a full story about the history of the poor farm. Many people have no idea that it existed and why. Answer: The Brown County Jail and Curative Connections on Green Bay’s east side sit atop land labeled on maps from 1889 as the “Brown County Insane and Poor Farm.” The County Board in 1857 decided to buy the land − 112 acres owned by David P. Saunders − for $1,600. It had voted the year before, on March 12, 1856, “to make the poor a county charge,” librarian Deborah Martin wrote in her history book of Brown County. Poverty had become a responsibility several towns in Brown County found burdensome and expensive, according to Martin. Caring for those with little means − including widows, orphans and the elderly − was a local government duty written in law to turn taxes into welfare, first started in England under Queen Elizabeth II and carried with English settlers . Poor houses in the 19th century admitted those whom overseers judged not responsible for their poverty and unable to get out of poverty themselves, according

Construction marks turning point for former Manitowoc mall site | Exclusive
MANITOWOC – After years of sitting vacant, the former Mid-Cities Mall site is coming back to life. Construction is underway on multifamily housing at the former Mid-Cities Mall and Edgewater Plaza site . It is the first step in a development that will include a mix of multifamily and single-family housing, retail space and restaurants, according to city officials. Restaurants we miss: Readers name the Manitowoc-area restaurants they miss most | Exclusive The Manitowoc Plan Commission approved the final plat for the Mariner Lux Subdivision in July, clearing the final hurdle before construction could begin.

After the mall sat empty for years and its parking lot deteriorated, city leaders moved to spur redevelopment. Momentum began building in 2023, when the city considered using eminent domain
