Paul StinsonWisconsin will invest $36.6 million to build sports arenas, a convention center and museums. The projects funded by the American Rescue Plan Act include $15 million for a 130,000-square-foot sports and convention center in the town of Janesville.
The facility, referred to as the Woodman’s Center, will include a 1,500-seat ice hockey and winter sports arena and a 20,000 square-foot conference space that can be converted to a hardcourt space for youth sports. There will also be a multi-use arena that will be iced for a portion of the year before the center converts it back to a dry space for sports and additional conference spaces. The estimated cost of the facility is $50.3 million.
Another $9.3 million will go toward a 8,000-seat soccer stadium at Iron District Milwaukee that will serve as the future home of Milwaukee soccer and lacrosse teams. With an estimated total cost of $220 million, the project includes a hotel, entertainment centers and apartments.
Another $7 million will help add 21,000 square feet of additional space to the railroad museum and add a 5,000-square-foot patio overlooking the river. The Bronzeville Center of the Arts, a nonprofit organization rooted in the art, culture, and history of the African Diaspora, will receive $5 million directed toward a project that will transform a 3.4-acre parcel of land into a gallery featuring art from across the state.
