It will be a busy 2024 around the City of Sturgeon Bay based on the four contracts it is set to approve on Tuesday during its common council meeting. The contracts cover a variety of work being done in the city, including at the Geneva Ridge subdivision, parking lots at 911 North 14th Avenue and North 2nd Avenue, and Alabama Place. The projects are a step forward for the 5.5-acre subdivision designated for twenty-four single-family homes addressing the need for affordable housing in Door County. People who buy houses in the subdivision must work full-time in Door County, promise not to list the property as a short-term rental, and be subject to a fee if they don’t keep the home for at least six years. The contracts cover the city’s concrete replacement, asphalt replacement, sanitary sewer and water line installation, and site work amounting to nearly $2.6 million. Depending on the location of the work being done, funding from Tax Increment Districts #6 and #10 will cover the cost of the projects. The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will also give its opinion on what to do with over $3 million in first dollar, school, and lottery credits when it meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday inside the council chambers at city hall.
