A public meeting will be held at 2 p.m. June 6 at Clintonville City Hall to discuss the feasibility of a cooperative grocery store opening in the city.
Lynn Walter, an organizer of the New Leaf Market in Green Bay will share her experiences in forming the store. The market has more than 800 members.
Clintonville Alderwoman Mary-Beth Kuester said she arranged the meeting in response to residents’ requests for a second grocery store in Clintonville.
“This may or may not be the answer to the needs of our citizens, but we want to explore all opportunities,” she said.
A cooperative store operates as a not-for-profit organization, like a credit union, with a membership rather than owners or shareholders.
City Hall is at 50 10th St.
