Members of the Sturgeon Bay Historical Society are anxiously waiting for mail from the United States Department of Agriculture so you can start seeing more changes to the Door County Granary.  The letter from the USDA will give the organization the green light to start filling out construction documents and submit bidding information for the Door County Granary, which was designated to receive $3.3 million from a rural development grant earmarked late last year. Hauser says once that happens, things can finally start moving quickly toward having people use the granary for the first time in decades.

With construction starting in late October and crews working inside the structure through the winter, Hauser hopes to welcome some of their first visitors to the Door County Granary next summer pending an updated development agreement with the City of Sturgeon Bay.
