Residents know something needs to be done to the current athletic complex across the street from Sturgeon Bay High School, but the finer details of the what, where, and how are still months away from being sorted out. An informational session was hosted earlier in December where residents could see what the reimagined space would look like as they overhaul the outdoor fields and potentially build a new indoor facility. City Administrator Josh Van Lieshout says there is a lot of support for the scale and scope of the project, with residents supporting adding a new track and turf fields into the mix. The project's feasibility, including questions about its costs, financing, and sequencing, still needs to be sorted out. Van Lieshout says he left the informational session encouraged by what the project could mean for the city and the county.

Thanks to several public and private entities, the project is undergoing a feasibility study, which could be released this spring. While the feasibility study covers the indoor and outdoor facilities, Van Lieshout stressed that they are two separate projects and should be judged as such.
