The city of Sturgeon Bay is one of nine communities awarded a state grant that will boost economic development along its waterfront. On Wednesday, Governor Tony Evers announced over $6 million in Harbor Assistance Program grants would be issued statewide. Sturgeon Bay will receive $249,920 for Sarter Marine Towing to construct moorings and waterfront infrastructure at the west side’s Sawyer Dock. Mayor David Ward says the Harbor Assistance Program is the third state grant the City has received this year. He says making the dock area productive for Sarter Marine Towing is very important.
Sarter Marine Towing provides tugboat support to Finacantieri Bay Shipbuilding Company and other marine businesses. Mayor Ward credits the City’s staff in pursuing state grants and finding money outside of property taxes to improve the community.
