A looming compliance deadline for the Sturgeon Bay Historical Society regarding the Teweles & Brandeis Granary was extended on Tuesday evening at the Sturgeon Bay Common Council meeting after a long discussion. The Third Amendment to the Development Agreement changes the original substantial completion date for the granary site from June 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023. The council voted 6-1 in favor of the amendment extension with alderperson Kirsten Reeths voting against it, wanting more conditions imposed. Sturgeon Bay Historical Society Foundation Executive Director Beth Renstrom says unforeseen delays have slowed the progress. Still, the hope is that needed materials will arrive soon as funding continues to come in.
The Sturgeon Bay Historical Society will give monthly status updates on the project's progress at a monthly meeting.
The council also approved a resolution authorizing the execution of the DNR Principle Forgiven Financial Assistance that will allow galvanized water laterals to be replaced in older areas of the city through a state grant of $750,000.
Approval of protective netting for the west side field on city property near the new Sawyer Lofts apartments' parking area was unanimously approved.
A fourth agenda item approved on Tuesday was a Therma-Tron-X agreement to purchase 4.4 acres of land on South Neenah Avenue for expansion that was originally approved by the council as a lease in 2018.
