Sturgeon Bay Visitor Center Receives Grant from Community Foundation

The Door County Community Foundation recently awarded the Sturgeon Bay Visitor Center a Sustainability Grant from the Ruth and Hartley Barker Memorial Fund for the Door County Wayfinding Initiative. This initiative will link our communities together as a unified and economically strong destination experience through the use of vehicular and/or pedestrian wayfinding signage.

“We are pleased to support this Door initiative,” said Marcia Smith, Chair of the Door County Community Foundation. “To have the continuity throughout the peninsula and onto Washington Island would help enrich the visitors’ experience.”
