Door County to provide update on Museum/Archives project
Improving your experience at the Door County Historical Museum is the goal of a proposed project to expand it, but you still need to see some work done next door before that becomes a reality. The Door County Board of Supervisors will receive an update on the project when they meet in its chambers at the Door County Government Center in Sturgeon Bay on Tuesday beginning at 9 a.m. The proposed project calls for over 14,000 square feet of space to be added onto the current museum, which requires the county to demolish the former Younkers building along 4th Avenue, among other adjustments. The project was put on hold in March when the bids they received were over budgeted by $3 million. Door County Administrator Ken Pabich is expected to give an update on the Door County Historical Museum expansion along with close to a dozen other capital projects in front of county officials. The Door County Board will meet on Tuesday at 9 a.m. in Sturgeon Bay. While in session, they are also slated to discuss adopting a qualified retirement plan and entering into a settlement agreement with Kroger Corporation concerning opioids. The governing body will also discuss how funds from the opioid settlement can be used toward the county’s sober living housing project.
