The City of Sturgeon Bay is winding down the year with sights on building more housing projects in the future.  Mayor David Ward says that although the city has approved the development of hundreds of housing units in the past year, single-family and affordable housing remains a high priority.  He shares some of the recent progress achieved in Sturgeon Bay.

Ward adds that road repairs in Sturgeon Bay is essential as the city plans on resurfacing three miles of streets in 2024.  He notes that 2024 should be a productive year of economic development, including more expansion at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding and the Industrial Park.  The Sturgeon Bay Common Council met briefly for about 15 minutes on Tuesday with a light agenda.  The council approved a second reading of an ordinance to rezone a parcel of land at 346 Oregon Street.  The first reading addressed the repealing and the recreation of the Municipal Code for holding tank agreements.  Ward notes that the measure is to clean up some old deposits from the 1980s and 90s before laws changed, having Door County regulate holding tanks.
