It is not the most exciting news to share, but Sturgeon Bay Mayor David Ward says recent approvals for a stormwater runoff management planning grant and special assessments for sanitary sewer and water extension on W. Oak Street are important the city’s future. Both measures were approved during last week’s Sturgeon Bay Common Council meeting. In both cases, Ward says being in a place where you can pass these types of resolutions means the city is in a position to grow in the future. It is something they have placed a heavy focus on over the past several years and an area of pride for Ward.

The City of Sturgeon Bay recently discussed a new development that would bring 75 units of residential housing, mostly single family and duplexes, to the area.
