Over a week after the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources closed its public survey concerning the future of the Potawatomi State Park, your representatives on the Door County Board may push them toward a third option. At the Door County Board meeting next Tuesday, supervisors will consider a resolution asking the DNR to consider a plan to repair the Potawatomi State Park Tower without an addition. Door County Administrator Ken Pabich says the resolution is being made at the request of the Town of Nasewaupee, which passed a similar resolution earlier this year.
The Door County Board will also weigh in on a request by the towns of Washington and Liberty Grove to pass a resolution asking the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to take action on the cormorants that inhabit Pilot Island. The once-endangered species has wreaked havoc on the island, causing poor fishing, foul smells, and the contamination of its soil and water. Pabich says the county has tried tackling the issue before with little cooperation from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The two resolutions were discussed at Tuesday's Administrative Committee meeting.
