Building on a strong year of adding apartments and other multi-family units, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council signed off on the final Planned Unit Development for a 54-unit apartment project by developer Richard Robinson and First & Main Properties this week.  Sturgeon Bay City Administrator Josh Van Lieshout says Mayor David Ward noted in a recent meeting that 323 apartments were either completed or under construction in the past two years.  He says the city has had a lot of success in addressing the workforce housing situation in Sturgeon Bay and believes 2025 will look a lot like 2024.

During the Board of Public Works meeting this week, a paving plan for three miles of city streets was approved for about $1.78 million. Van Lieshout notes that the main projects in the paving plan include the reconstruction of Delaware Street, including sidewalks to connect with Third Avenue, and a stretch of Memorial Drive from 12th Avenue to 14th Avenue, for which the City of Sturgeon Bay received $225,000 in grant funds to defray the cost.
