You might see the former Younkers furniture building in Sturgeon Bay back on the market after the county purchased the property back in 2019.

The Door County Facilities and Parks Department presented the findings from its Downtown Sturgeon Bay Campus Study to over two dozen people in attendance both in-person and online. In addition to the former Younkers furniture building, it also looked at the future for the Sturgeon Bay branch of the Door County Library, the Miller Art Museum, and the Door County Historical Museum. Door County Administrator Ken Pabich says while there are some plans on how to move forward with the two museums and the library, there is no immediate need for the former department store space as of right now.

Pabich says the next step is to bring the study to the county board where he expects there to be some recommendations made to figure out how to move forward with the prospective projects later this year.
