Two Rivers' $1.6M 'transformative' Central Park redesign will include splash pad, ice rink and more
HERALD TIMES REPORTER 

TWO RIVERS - It's a hot summer day and there's a local band playing music in the bandstand at one end of Central Park in Two Rivers. People are dancing along or just watching from the paved seating space nearby.

At another end of the park, people are buying concessions and children are playing with water jets in the splash area.

That's the vision leaders from Two Rivers had when they began planning the redesign for Central Park in 2020.

Now, the city is asking for the public's help in raising funds for the project. "It's an ambitious, and, I think, transformative project," City Manager Greg Buckley told the Herald Times Reporter...

Door County wired for broadband administrator
DOOR COUNTY DAILY NEWS

DOOR COUNTY -- The future of internet in Door County will be in the hands of a broadband administrator in the coming months. The Door County Board is moving forward with adding the position after it approved using American Rescue Plan Act dollars to fund it. Of the $1 million allocated for broadband support over the next three years, between $112,000 and $117,000 is earmarked for paying the new administrator. Door County Administrator Ken Pabich says it is important to get this person in place as soon as possible because of the complexity and the importance of the project.

A new partnership between the Greater Green Bay Chamber, Cooperative Educational Service Agency 7 (CESA 7) and the Ahnapee Youth Apprenticeship Consortium is creating a regional solution to connect employers with thousands of students who want to work as a part of their high school experience.
