What a treat to have artist Karrah Sievert stop by the Mayor’s office today to see her paintings on the wall!

Her work explores how light and color move through faceted glass. She captures the moment light bounces off a reflective surface and finds its own path through the crystal, in vivid color and fine detail.

Karrah was raised in Wisconsin and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in 2023. It is exciting to see her work on display.

Art in the Mayor’s office rotates through the Public Arts Commission and Public Arts Coordinator Chelle Diedreich. Thank you both for bringing Karrah’s colorful paintings to the office and for supporting Green Bay’s arts community.

Mayor Genrich spoke at the United Patriotic Society of Green Bay’s annual Veterans Day Ceremony today. Here is part of what he shared.

“Every other year we have the opportunity to come together after our fall elections. That is such a contentious period of time. We’ve got the red team and the blue team. And today, it’s just so nice to be able to come together as the red, white, and blue team, and understand what is most important about this country. Those shared values are best represented by our veterans, and so to be able to come together and put those partisan allegiances aside and celebrate our allegiance to our country, and to those values that our veterans represent, is always a real privilege for me.”

Thank you to all veterans across Green Bay, across Wisconsin, and across our nation.

Today is Veterans Day, a time to recognize the men and women who have served our country, including the many veterans who call Green Bay home.

Their service protected the freedoms we cherish, and their contributions continue in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools. If you see a veteran today, a simple thank you means a lot.

Gratitude to every veteran and to the families who served alongside them.

Good morning, Green Bay!

Today is Election Day, and it’s an important one for our community. Voting is one of the most meaningful ways to take part in the decisions that shape our neighborhoods and our city’s future.

Green Bay is at its best when people show up for one another. Casting a ballot is one more way to do that.

Please take a few minutes today to vote, and check in with a neighbor, coworker, or family member to make sure they have a plan too.

Thank you to the poll workers and volunteers who spend their day serving fellow residents!

Business leaders, local governments, nonprofits, educators, and community groups recently gathered at Discover Green Bay for the Green Bay Business & Community Sustainability Showcase, hosted by the Sustainable Business Council. Mayor Genrich addressed the audience as the group reflected on the 2026 Green Bay Sustainable Business Accelerator and looked ahead.

Two new resources were introduced. The Nature-Based Solutions Toolkit is a free guide to practical ways businesses can improve environmental performance and strengthen community resilience. Cool Choices Greater Green Bay, launching May 3-24, 2027, will invite residents, businesses, schools, nonprofits, and local governments to take part in simple actions that support a stronger region.

Green Bay is already putting this work into practice. The City set a community-wide goal of 100% clean energy and carbon neutrality by 2050. We've earned SolSmart Silver certification for making solar easier to install and adopted a Green Stormwater Infrastructure Plan. The Sustainability Commission convened a Large Energy Users Roundtable, and the City’s Brownfields Program supports cleanup so sites can return to productive use. Our Green Bay Conservation Corps, Wisconsin’s first municipal AmeriCorps program, helps care for City green space. Together, these efforts help keep Green Bay a great place to live, work, and play.

Mayor Eric Genrich joined Paul's Pantry this morning for its World Food Day ceremony, where he read a proclamation and spoke in support of the pantry's mission.

Founded by Leo Frigo, Paul's Pantry opened on Valentine's Day in 1984 and operates as a free grocery store. Volunteers and staff rescue unsaleable food from local grocery stores and food manufacturers and distribute it to families in need, which reduces waste and keeps people's dignity intact.

Last year, Paul's Pantry distributed more than 5 million pounds of food, volunteers gave more than 72,000 hours, and families made nearly 64,000 grocery visits. Since 1984, volunteers have given more than 3.5 million hours.

Paul's Pantry is supported by the community and receives no government funding. To donate food, give financially, or volunteer, visit paulspantry.org.

Starr Elementary School celebrated its ribbon-cutting Wednesday morning, with Mayor Eric Genrich in attendance. Students have been learning in the new west side building for more than a month.

The school is named for Bart and Cherry Starr, and their son Bart Jr. represented the family at the ceremony. It has room for 500 students from early childhood through fifth grade and brings Keller, Kennedy, and MacArthur together in one building. The $44 million project was part of the $183 million referendum voters approved in 2024.

Thank you to former Superintendent Vicki Bayer and Superintendent Michael Hernandez for their work on this project.
