harbor

Harbor work includes maintenance, docks, fees, leases, and shoreline care.

Whether the city applies for and wins Wisconsin DOT harbor funding tied to the 2027–2029 project list, and what the follow-up studies recommend.

Typically discussed at City Council. Check back when the next agenda is published.

On March 30, council unanimously adopted the 2027–2029 harbor project list the city uses to stay eligible for state harbor grants. The list includes dredging, seawall reconstruction near the Hamilton property, and a possible breakwater extension; staff said adopting the list doesn’t commit the city to building the projects.
