DOOR COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – The State Building Commission announced on Wednesday it has approved a $2.07 million project that will take place at Peninsula State Park.
The project will focus on rebuilding the iconic Eagle Tower, which was built in the 1930’s, but was deconstructed in 2016 because of deterioration and general safety concerns.
Construction could begin in December if the state natural resources board approves a $750,000 donation by The Friends of Peninsula State Park in September.
The new structure consists of a 60-foot observation tower with a 1,000 square-foot observation deck at the top and an 850-foot long ramp with an additional observation deck off the ramp.
The project also includes a new accessible trail from the base of the ramp to the picnic and parking area.
