Street Named After Packers Coach Mike McCarthy Gets Preliminary Approval
Potts Ave. will be renamed Mike McCarthy Way in Ashwaubenon, Wis.
According to Paul Srubas of the Green Bay Press-Gazette:
Ashwaubenon approves McCarthy Way name change contingent on president's negotiation with Packers to compensate businesses hurt by change.

McCarthy Way name change won't happen for year, to give businesses chance to use up address labels, etc., still in stock.

A public hearing took place Tuesday evening at the Ashwaubenon Village Hall on changing Potts Ave. to Mike McCarthy Way.
The proposal to change Potts Ave. appears to have received much less contention than a similar proposal a year to change Ashland Ave., which ran through three jurisdictions and impacted a greater number of businesses.
