The Green Bay Plan Commission has endorsed the construction of an upscale hotel to be located near Lambeau Field.
The 100-room Legacy Hotel would go up on the site of the former Brett Favre’s Steakhouse.
A conditional use permit was needed because the six-story hotel would be higher than the local limit of 45 feet.
Other city approvals are still needed and developers are hoping to get about five million dollars in city assistance from tax incentives.
The hotel could be operating two years from this month.
