The Port of Green Bay Redevelopment Project is a transformative, multi-phase marine and site development initiative focused on redeveloping the former Pulliam Power Plant site into a modern, operational dock facility. Designed to expand port capacity and enhance long-term operational capabilities, the project will strengthen the Port of Green Bay’s role as a critical transportation and economic hub. Through extensive waterfront improvements, site redevelopment, and infrastructure enhancements, the project will create new opportunities for cargo handling, industrial growth, and regional economic development while positioning the port to meet future demands.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
- Installation of 1,900 linear feet of combi-wall dock infrastructure to accommodate cargo vessel operations. The dockwall consists of alternating 54-inch-diameter, 80-foot-long steel pipe piles and steel sheet piling.
- Dredging of approximately 200,000 cubic yards of material from the Fox River to achieve required navigational depths.
- Implementation of comprehensive environmental protection and monitoring measures throughout construction.
- Installation of an underwater environmental cutoff sheet pile wall to support long-term site and environmental objectives.
- Mass grading and site preparation activities to establish the future port facility.
- Placement of underwater aggregate fill to support dockwall construction and site stabilization.
- Beneficial reuse of suitable dredged materials where feasible to support sustainability goals.
- Dockwall backfill operations to prepare the site for future port use.
- Asphalt paving of the C. Reiss stockpile area.
PROJECT STATUS + SCHEDULE
Current efforts are focused on connecting the dockwall waler system to the anchor wall and preparing for major marine construction within the Fox River.
Major marine construction, including dockwall installation and dredging, is scheduled to begin following the conclusion of seasonal fish spawning restrictions. This next phase will mark a significant milestone in advancing the site’s transformation into a modern port facility.
Major dockwall construction and dredging operations are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2026. Construction of dockwall appurtenances, paving, and final site improvements will continue through 2027, with overall project completion anticipated in late summer 2027.
