Environmentally Conscious
Clean air
Our communities and their businesses take pride in providing clean air for our residents. You’re sure to enjoy the light breezes coming off our waterways as you adventure into our many outdoor spaces to hike, bike, boat, or fish.
Freshwater
The city of Green Bay is located on the Bay of Green Bay, an inlet of Lake Michigan. While historically serving mostly industrial purposes, the Bay, along with its tributaries including the Fox River, now also provide residents and business owners alike with recreational fun and real estate opportunities.
