Meet Vanessa Schoen, the woman behind Board & Brush Green Bay, WI! Board & Brush offers instructor-led DIY wood sign workshops where you can unleash your creativity and learn new skills. We asked Vanessa, “What’s one ‘superpower’ you’ve developed as a business owner that you never thought you’d have?” Here’s what she had to say: "Being adaptive. From running workshops and connecting with customers to being the HR and behind-the-scenes person. Truly wearing all the hats and still loving what I do." – Vanessa Schoen

At this year's State of the Broadway District, we had the honor of presenting the 2024 Paul Jadin Impact Award to Paul Belschner. Paul has played a huge role in the revitalization and growth of the Broadway District over the years. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Paul (Jadin) for decades and am honored to be presented with the Paul Jadin Impact Award in its second year. Paul, as the leader of the Greater Green Bay Chamber of Commerce at the time, partnered with us to provide a catalyst project (Chamber Building) to what is now known as the Rail Yard Innovation District. His steadfast leadership has provided our community with the assets needed to flourish. Our (Base Companies) team looks to partner and supplement the community's continued growth and vibrance within the Broadway District.” - Paul Belschner, President & CEO, Base Companies LLC

As we continue celebrating Women's History Month, we want to introduce you to Bri Renquin, owner of Lark and Lace Salon in the Broadway District. We asked Bri what inspired her to start her own business, and here is what she had to say. "I started my business as a space for independent stylists to come together and work in a thriving & welcoming environment with opportunities for future growth. I wanted to incorporate all the perks I had as a single studio owner but in a larger space surrounded by other stylists. Passion for the industry, continuous growth, and education are what drive me. Being on Broadway has been one of the best career opportunities and decisions I have made. I can’t wait for the many years to come!" - Bri Renquin

When community residents have options for basic and unique foods in their own neighborhood, it affords them the opportunity to create and then maintain a healthier lifestyle. Listen to Natalie Bomstad, MPH with Wello as she describes how a public market can be that place that provides year-round access to healthy food, supporting residents, while also supporting local farmers who can provide that food. We look forward to the Green Bay Public Market serving the community in this and so many other ways. ?? Shift Visuals
