Affordable housing and the environment are two areas you will hear more about as a part of a destination stewardship plan presented on Wednesday. This results from a community-driven process with residents, business leaders, and other stakeholders sharing their vision with Destination Door County leadership. Destination Door County President and CEO Julie Gilbert says the plan's goal is to help guide tourism strategy and investment and identify opportunities for the county’s 19 distinctive communities and its business leaders to take advantage of in the future. She adds that in many discussions, they have confirmed issues they already knew and placed extra urgency on addressing them.

Gilbert says many destination communities like Door County around the world are developing similar plans because of the challenges they are all facing. The community presentation will begin at 9 a.m. on Wednesday at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor and will be live-streamed via Zoom at this link. It will also be available on-demand at this link after April 24th.
