You may feel a little safer at events throughout the county after the Door County Board approved a $100,000 grant from the Destination Door County Community Investment Fund.

It was the largest grant awarded during the organization’s most recent cycle and will support the purchase of a countywide, mobile, crash-rated barrier system to protect events across the area.

The system is similar to what is currently used by the Sturgeon Bay Police Department for events in the city. The department also loaned it out for other events last year, including Sister Bay Fall Fest.

Door County Administrator Ken Pabich envisions the county and municipalities working together to use the barrier systems to help protect residents and visitors.

The board also accepted a donation for the Aging and Disability Resource Center, approved financial support for Ahnapee Trail improvements, and accepted funding from the Environmental Protection Agency and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for invasive species projects during its Tuesday meeting.
