The Door County Board is set to approve more than $164,000 for a new open-air pavilion at John Miles County Park in Sturgeon Bay. Last month, Destination Door County announced the project would receive a Community Investment Fund grant of $92,850 to ensure that programming at the site, which includes the main stage acts for the Door County Fair, would be protected from the weather. The Raibrook Foundation ($31,189 grant), the Door County Fair Board ($30,000), and the Friends of the Door County Parks ($10,000 donation) have also offered to contribute to the project. The county board must approve any donations or grants of more than $5,000. After receiving the funds from the Community Investment Fund, Door County Administrator Ken Pabich said the pavilion will serve a great purpose for the community.
The Door County Board will also look to approve $75,000 to be transferred for the emergency replacement of the generator for the Door County Government Center on Washington Island in addition to hearing Pabich’s report on other capital projects sitting in different phases on the peninsula. They will meet on Tuesday at 9 a.m. at the Door County Government Center in Sturgeon Bay.
