April 20th is the next time the courts will listen to arguments over a wastewater treatment plant in northern Door County. Since late 2017, the village of Sister Bay and the town of Liberty Grove have battled over who is the rightful owner of the plant and related facilities. The village believes they have sole ownership while the town believes they have a stake in it. The Liberty Grove Town Board voted earlier this month to decline responsibility for invoices received on behalf of the wastewater treatment plant until the issue is settled. Town chairperson John Lowry hopes the two sides can get to a point of equal understanding.

The village of Sister Bay received good news concerning the wastewater treatment plant when it was awarded a $1.6 million grant to make necessary upgrades.
