Beginning on Monday, you will have more time to take care of your business in the morning at Sturgeon Bay City Hall. January 6th marks the first day of the new building hours for Sturgeon Bay City Hall, which will be open longer Monday through Thursday and give some employees half-days on Friday. City hall will now be open 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Fridays. The Sturgeon Bay Common Council approved the hours shift last fall at the request of the city’s management team, citing residents’ reliance on other methods to conduct city business and slow Friday afternoon in-office traffic as their reasons. The switch also aligns with other municipalities that have made similar hours adjustments in the past year, including Door and Brown counties and the City of Algoma. There are exceptions to the new hours. Municipal services hours will remain the same, and the City Clerk’s office will stay open on Friday afternoons when in-person absentee voting occurs.
