The City of Sturgeon Bay took action on two of the three recommendations set forth by the Finance/Purchasing & Building Committee on Tuesday at its common council meeting. The Sturgeon Bay Common Council approved the donation of land from the city to the Door County Economic Development Corporation for a modular home manufacturing facility near the Industrial Park.  Mayor David Ward explains the plan that is contingent on grant money received for the project.

The recommendation for the National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) sites will be brought back to the council on March 1st after some maps are redrawn because of incorrect identification of a parcel of land near the Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club.  The meeting wrapped up within an hour after five city ordinances and municipal codes received a first reading and approval of needed changes recommended by the Community Protection and Services Committee.
