You will have a more comfortable trip to the restroom at Peninsula State Park in the future after the State Building Commission announced more than $110 million in projects this week. Renovations to the Tennison Bay campground at Peninsula State Park were among the projects funded by the State Building Commission, including ADA-compliant improvements at the Fox Lake Correctional Institution and infrastructure upgrades at the Wisconsin State Capitol. The work will replace the 1967-era restroom and shower facilities with a new structure, water supply, and sanitary sewer lines. State Senator Andre Jacque celebrated the project’s inclusion, citing the 188 family campsites at the Tennison Bay Campground that rely on the restroom and shower facilities. “These facilities are outdated and beginning to fail, with tile falling off the walls and floors, creating potential hazards to visitors at the campground,” Jacque said. Jacque also highlighted a project to replace gates in the dam at Collins Marsh in Manitowoc County. The two projects account for $5.2 million of the total $110.2 million announced.
