Dozens of people attended a groundbreaking Wednesday morning of a 21,000-square-foot remodel of a commercial building just off Egg Harbor Road. The old building that was once home to Pamida and Palmer Johnson’s Cabinet Division will be the new home of the Sturgeon Bay Activity/Event Center. The business will feature an indoor golf simulator, axe-throwing areas, and a bar and restaurant with banquet facilities available for up to 400 people. Mayor David Ward says the new facility will be a good addition to the city and complement the new Cobblestone Hotel that is being planned just west of the building.
The project is called the Door County Boardwalk and estimates employing 60 people when it is completed this November.
