One third of a mile to the west and to the immediate west of Lambeau Field is the destination $120 million mixed use 34 acre Titletown District which is being developed by the Green Bay Packers. In the event Brown County decides to discontinue operations at the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena and Shopko Hall, Brown County is researching options for private participation in redevelopment of the land at the current facility. This letter requests information and interest in this property and in no way obligates Brown County to any contractual obligations. In the event Brown County decides to pursue such an option, a separate Notice of Offering shall be issued at a later date. The following is a list of the type of information being requested: What would be your proposed use for this property?

Please describe your experience in large scale land development in excess of $30 million valuation adjacent to major sports or entertainment facilities and provide examples of previous projects. Please describe any experience with redevelopment of land or buildings similar in nature to the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena and Shopko Hall complex.

The information derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. 2. The information is the subject of efforts to maintain its secrecy that are reasonable under the circumstances. We request the following pages not be released: Section Page # Topic IN THE EVENT THE DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY OF THIS INFORMATION IS CHALLENGED, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY AGREES TO PROVIED LEGAL COUNSEL OR OTHER NECESSARY ASSISTANCE TO DEFEND THE DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND AGREES TO HOLD BROWN COUNTY HARMLESS FOR ANY COSTS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE COUNTY S AGREEING TO WITHOLD THE MATERIALS.
