Governor Tony Evers announces a $15 million investment in the proposed Woodman’s Sports and Convention Center in Janesville using American Rescue Plan Act funds.

The Democratic Governor says he’s investing $36.6 million into building projects across the state that were previously rejected by members of the Wisconsin State Legislature in the the 2023-2025 Capital Budget process.

According to a news release the indoor athletic and conference center at Uptown Janesville will generate an estimated $13 million in new economic impact to the community as well as provide a regional venue for in-state athletic events.

The Governor also announced $9.3 million for a new soccer stadium in Milwaukee, $7 million for the Green Bay National Railroad Museum, $5 million for the Bronzeville Center for the Arts, and $330,000 for Door County Peninsula Players Theatre upgrades.
