STURGEON BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The public is invited to get a sneak peek into the future of a Door County observation tower.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is hosting a virtual public information session on the Potawatomi Tower at Potawatomi State Park in Sturgeon Bay.

The engineering company will present the design option plans they developed.

The public information session will take place Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023, at 6 p.m. Attendees can join the Zoom meeting or join by phone at 312-626-6799.

After the public presentation, the DNR will again solicit public feedback on which option is preferred. Following that comment period, Gov. Evers will be including the most popular design as a project in the 2023 Capital Budget.

The Potawatomi Tower was closed in December 2017 after engineers found significant wood decay and unsafe conditions. In 2020, the tower was placed on the state and national registers of historic places.

An engineering report and public survey for the Potawatomi Tower will be available in January 2023.
