He said Ashwaubenon has been very appreciative of the Packers’ efforts to bring the NFL Draft to the village in 2025. “When it happens,” he said, “we will be all hands on deck, because that will be a tremendous effort. In all likelihood, the NFL Draft will be the single-largest event our metropolitan community will host.” It means working not only with the Packers organization but also the City of Green Bay, as well as the area’s local convention and visitors’ bureau, Discover Green Bay, as Gregozeski pointed out. Schuette said he wants to see Ashwaubenon maintain the economic momentum that it has built up over the past several years. “We want to make sure we continue that development pattern,” he said, citing especially the stadium, denser development and higher design standards. And wishing to give credit where credit is due, Schuette extolled the efforts of Ashwaubenon’s village president and village board. He praised their unity of purpose. “They have great foresight,” he said, “and a lot of support for the ideas that we bring forward.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Slinde Realty www.slinderealty.com Slinde Realty is proud to present The Element Apartments in Ashwaubenon, WI.
