BHC Awarded COVID-19 Grant

We are very pleased to announce that BHC was awarded $9,667 from the State of Wisconsin under the COVID-19 Cultural Organization Grant Program.  This program was funded by the federal CARES Act and helps to offset some of the public event revenues we lost this year due to the virus.

BHC Master Plan

BHC recently completed a Master Planning project funded by a grant from the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation (GGBCF). We engaged Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction, Inc. of Appleton to lead the effort. The Master Plan addresses improved visitor access to all buildings and campus features, expanded off road parking and a layout for a new, future building to support community events. The site plan and development concepts are detailed in a narrative report with maps and illustrations, standards and guidelines for historic preservation and a 45 minute video with detailed instructions for maintaining the historic aesthetics of our campus while safely hosting visitors of all ages. Thanks to GGBAF, Hoffman and Pat Del Ponte for supporting this important project.
