About OBI, Inc.
On Broadway, Inc. (OBI) is a community-based, non-profit organization dedicated to the economic revitalization and historic preservation of Green Bay’s Broadway District. Formed by a grassroots effort in October of 1995, the Broadway District is bordered by Mather St. on the north, Mason Street on the south, Ashland Avenue on the west and the Fox River on the east.
As a Main Street Program, OBI follows a proven five-point approach to revitalization that includes Design, Economic Restructuring, Marketing, Organization and Promotional Events. Each of these areas is overseen by a committee made up of volunteers from the community who meet once a month and work with staff, district businesses, and other volunteers to accomplish projects.
In addition to the 120 or so volunteers that OBI works with, the office has a small staff and is overseen by a Board of Directors. The goal of the program is to create a vibrant downtown community (see Vision Statement). The organization works with businesses, the City of Green Bay, neighborhood residents, area organizations and the community to fulfill its mission and vision. Since OBI’s inception, the Broadway District has seen a net of 79 new businesses, 664 jobs, and 180% growth in the area’s tax base, among other successes.
