Officials from the Greater Marinette – Menominee YMCA have expressed interest in purchasing the UW-Fieldhouse, a facility that is part of the UW – Green Bay – Marinette Campus. During last week’s infrastructure committee meeting, Marinette County Administrator John Lefebvre provided an update on the progress regarding the fieldhouse. He, along with Facilities Director Martin Keyport, met with YMCA board members approximately two weeks ago. It was at this meeting that they were informed of the YMCA board’s decision to proceed with acquiring the fieldhouse and developing the property.
Lefebvre commented, “From my perspective, this is excellent for the community.”
Currently, the fieldhouse is leased at no cost to the River Cities Pool Association (RCPA), which is responsible for operational expenses. The RCPA assumed full operational control of the facility following the termination of the county’s lease with the UW Board of Regents on July 1, 2023. Members of the Infrastructure Committee unanimously voted to recommend that the county board approve a memorandum of understanding or letter of intent with the YMCA for the transfer of the fieldhouse parcel for $1.
