The Baileys Harbor Community Association will continue its monthly “Talk of the Town” series this week with a discussion focused on workforce housing and lessons learned from a neighboring community.

The session, scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, will highlight the housing initiatives undertaken in Sister Bay and explore how similar strategies could be applied in Baileys Harbor as housing challenges persist across Door County.

Julie Schmelzer, former village administrator for Sister Bay, will serve as the featured presenter. She is expected to outline how the village committed resources to develop employee housing and share insights into the planning and implementation process.

The event will be held at Lake Fire Winery. You are invited to arrive at 5:30 p.m. for a social gathering, with the program beginning at 6:15 p.m. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation, offering attendees an opportunity to engage in further discussion.

Schmelzer says the Talk of the Town series is designed to foster community engagement by providing residents and neighbors with access to timely information and open dialogue on issues affecting the area.

More information about the event and future sessions is available at the Baileys Harbor website.
