The Door County Economic Development Corporation has had an enviable record of helping business and industry in the county establish or expand itself, creating many new jobs. Not every facility is constantly in use and there are some residents who would like to see every vacant building filled or taken down. However, according to Sam Perlman, Economic Development Manager at the public/private agency based in Sturgeon Bay, the organization cannot always see to it that the empty buildings dotting the peninsula are filled…
Perlman says the issue often comes down to the wishes of the building’s owners…
Perlman says the Door County Economic Development Corporation works with realtors to help firms find vacant buildings when the need arises, but the organization is not in the real estate business.
