WISCONSIN (WTAQ) — Following the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources public information session on Thursday regarding the future of the Potawatomi Observation Tower, State Senator André Jacque had something to say.
The Potawatomi Observation Tower has been closed since 2017 due to significant wood decay. In early January 2023, the engineering firm GRAEF completed a concept report and cost analysis for the tower, and a public information session was hosted on Thursday night.
Jacque wasn’t pleased with their presentation; and is frustrated the DNR is considering demolishing the current tower and building a new one.
The public information session was held to seek the public’s feedback on the tower. However, Jacque said the presentation didn’t allow for participation. He is encouraging Wisconsinites to still make their voices heard by contacting their legislators, the governor’s office, and the Wisconsin DNR.
“There’s the ability to save this really important piece of history; and for whatever reason the administration has not moved forward on repairs that would stop the deterioration.” said Jacque.
