The Sturgeon Bay City Council had hoped to generate more funding to upgrade streets through the implementation of a Premier Resort Area Tax(PRAT) in the city. However, legislation to allow the tax on certain items purchased is bogged down in Madison.

An ad hoc committee of the Sturgeon Bay City Council studied several methods for raising dollars to enhance the city’s annual street repair program and settled on the PRAT as the most equitable.
