You will be able to go for a swim in Sister Bay and not have to rely on a beach or a hotel to do so.
During Tuesday’s Sister Bay Plan Commission meeting, Rachel Parr will present drawings on a sports and recreation center situated on 3.5 acres along State Highway 57. The first phase of the development is described as a “medical aquatic spa of sorts,” according to the meeting’s agenda packet, that includes endless pools where swimmers could adjust the resistance they swim against, similar to a treadmill. The drawings also show an indoor and outdoor lap pool, playground, and splash pad to be built in the future phases.
The village is asking Parr for a change in the future facility’s parking lot so she is not developing on an easement located on the property. Parr is asking the village to support her pursuit of a Community Development Investment Grant from the Wisconsin Development Corporation to the tune of $250,000 for what is expected to be a multi-million dollar project.
The Sister Bay Plan Commission will also host public hearings for six ordinance amendments, including two impacting parking at short-term rental properties. The meeting will occur at 5:30 p.m. at the Sister Bay-Liberty Grove Fire Station and will be available via Zoom at this link.
