In this episode of Lean Local, Jim Schmitt sits down with Brian Johnson, director of On Broadway and former Green Bay City Council president, to examine how Green Bay has changed over the last decade and what still needs to improve. They discuss downtown development, housing demand, brownfields versus greenfields, permitting friction, truck traffic on Broadway, the Green Bay Public Market, and the effect of partisanship on local government. The conversation stays focused on a practical question: what would real progress look like for Green Bay over the next five to ten years.
