Home Stretch for the riverwalk!!

We are in the home stretch!  As you probably know, there is a fabulous addition to downtown De Pere that has been in the planning and fundraising stages since the old Claude Allouez Bridge came down – the Katherine Harper Riverwalk and Nature Viewing Pier.  Today, I bring you two exciting updates!

The process toward the permit has been a long & twisted road with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the finish line is in sight – except, we need your help.

The project has a total price tag of $2.1 million dollars and NONE of it is public money (i.e. tax dollars) – it is all private donations.  We are only $300,000 away from our goal. Won’t you help us?  There are still some key sponsorship areas available.  If you are interested in more information or just want to write the project a check, please contact James Boyd at 336-0305 or myself at 338-0000.  You can mail your check to the Chamber at 441 Main Avenue, De Pere WI 54115 made out to the Katherine Harper Riverwalk and Nature Viewing Pier.

Please help us get this project across the finish line and begin construction on this amazing project as soon as possible!  Details are below …
