Packers Stimulate Local Ecomomy

Anduuzzi's sports bar near Lambeau Field

The city of Green Bay’s economy relies heavily on the shoulders of the Green Bay Packers organization.  No NFL franchises can say that they are more tied to the local community than the Green Bay Packers organization because they are publically owned.  The community relies heavily on the Packers organization to stimulate the local and to a smaller effect the state’s economy.

The Packers organization supplies the city of Green Bay and the surrounding communities with 2,560 jobs making the Packers one of the largest employers in the state of Wisconsin.  Those 2,560 employees made a total of $124 million and that money is being spent in local stores, bars, and restaurants and bolstering the local economy.  The community also receives $15.2 million in tax dollars to the city of Green Bay which helps with city projects and helps cover other expenses.
