Liberty Grove Town Chairperson John Lowry says approximately $40,000 will be needed to address a number of high water area concerns. The town board approved action to address shoreline protection for Mariners Park in Gills Rock and Wills Park in Ellison Bay, which is experiencing water-related damage similar to what has been found in other coastal communities in Door County. North Bay Road has also been flooded several times this year, and Lowry says something needs to be done to protect access to the residents’ homes.

Lowry says town administrator Bud Kalms is already looking at pricing for the rock needed for the shoreline protection efforts while the finance committee looks for ways to afford it as it expects a sharp drop in revenue this year due to the pandemic.
