Taxpayers on the Hook For Millions Due to Brown County Mistake

Brown County taxpayers will have to pay an additional $3.6 million after admitting their engineers made a mistake.  The county announced last summer it would chip in more than five-million dollars for a retention pond and pipe at the Green Bay Package plant to keep the business from moving.  The company is investing more than a half-billion dollars in the construction of a new paper mill.  The additional cost was discovered when original plans for a storm water management system had to be changed.  The new construction will add 200 jobs to the 1100 people already working at the plant.
