You will have to wait a little longer to find out the future of the former Val-A Motel property in Ellison Bay. The Town of Liberty Grove Board voted last week to not sell the land to a prospective buyer who was hoping to start a new business on the property. The town purchased the property in 2019 and shortly thereafter removed the former motel buildings. Town chairperson John Lowry says the hope is to turn that land into workforce or affordable housing options for the community.
Lowry says they are continuing to work with the Door County Economic Development Corporation to develop the site for future use.
