The Sturgeon Bay Common Council gave the go-ahead for several projects to take the next step forward. It approved the bid of Black Creek’s RJM Construction to renovate the city hall’s reception area to allow for greater security for employees and more coordination between departments. The bid of $156,850.00 was between $11,000 and $28,000 less than the other four bids received. The common council also unanimously approved working with SC Swiderski on a proposal to redevelop the current Sunset School site for multi-family housing and with Maritime Heights to add to its development located near Erie Street. Alderperson Dan Williams called it a best-case scenario.
The city was expected to discuss a proposal from Northpointe Development Corporation to build multi-family dwelling units on a portion of the west waterfront. Two other proposals were received for the site and also involved housing. Sturgeon Bay Common Council David Ward explained to the council why the discussion is being moved to its next meeting in two weeks.
The Sturgeon Bay Common Council also approved moving the start time from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m. to coincide with the switch from daylight savings time by a 5-2 vote.
