The City of Sturgeon Bay could create its second Tax Increment District this year in the near future in order to stimulate more economic growth.
The Sturgeon Bay Common Council is looking at working with R.W. Baird to create the city’s ninth TID district as it looks to build a 40,000-square-foot industrial flex building on the former Zak property near Neenah Avenue and Shiloh Road in the Sturgeon Bay Industrial Park. Once built, the Sturgeon Bay Business Center could potentially house four to five businesses. The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will also weigh in on hiring Cedar Corporation for engineering services for the proposed project. The Sturgeon Bay Business Center is not the only building project the council will discuss at the regularly scheduled meeting.
The council will also discuss hiring Stantec for surveying/engineering services for a potential affordable housing project on the west side of S. Hudson Avenue and the south ends of S. Fulton and S. Geneva Avenues. If the project is fulfilled, approximately 23 lots of housing could be developed.
The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will also discuss new rules for fishing tournaments and how they use city docks when they meet on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
