You can expect to see more housing pop up due to the Sturgeon Bay Common Council voting to approve nearly 30 acres of property to be added to TID #6. The additions cover about six new parcels, most located north of Egg Harbor Road off of N. 8th Avenue. The land is prepared to take on a mix of single-family and two-family residences and multi-family dwellings, with developers ready to build. The projects will add about $4.1 million to the TID due to infrastructure improvements, developer incentives, and financing. Mayor David Ward says times have changed for communities that could develop 40 acres at a clip. Now, many municipalities have to piece together that approach to meet the needs of the area. With a growing economic base and employers needing employees, Ward says this is a good investment for the city.

 

Ward adds that projections show that the TID could be paid off six to ten years ahead of schedule, even with the additional parcels. During Tuesday’s Sturgeon Bay Common Council meeting, the alders approved removing a parking space from the intersection of 5th Avenue and Jefferson Street and a fall resurfacing project for the intersection of Egg Harbor Road and 14th Avenue.
