Construction now underway for Titletown District project

ASHWAUBENON — Construction has officially started on the Green Bay Packers' Titletown District.

The ceremonial turn of a shovel broke ground Tuesday, April 5th for Lodge Kohler, just west of Lambeau Field.

The Kohler Co. is building the hotel, which executive chairman Herb Kohler says is a new experiment in hospitality.

WLUK-TV reports Kohler says the Titletown District will support the hotel and the hotel will support the Packers' banquet and hospitality business.

The 144-room Lodge Kohler is part of the 34-acre, $130 million Titletown District development, which also includes Hinterland Restaurant and Brewery and Bellin Health Sports Medicine Clinic.
