Re:        Oconto, Wisconsin, Waterfront Property Development Opportunity

Hello,

On behalf of the City of Oconto and the surrounding community, I am pleased to inform you of the availability of a rare and unique waterfront development property.   Please see the enclosed marketing flyer which describes in detail the waterfront property currently available for development located within the City of Oconto. 

This property offers direct water access from its shore along the Oconto River directly to the Bay of Green Bay, along with plenty of space for development, including large parking lot.  As further incentives and benefits, this property is located within a TIF district allowing for significant financial advantages, and TEDCOR (Tourism & Economic Development Corporation for the Oconto Region) will assist with WEDC grant applications.

Please take time to review the enclosed marketing flyer describing this property and the unique opportunity it presents.  I am happy to meet with you to discuss this property in detail.  If interested, please contact me by July 1, 2026 to discuss the next steps.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding this rare and unique waterfront property development opportunity.

Very truly yours,

Mayor Cliff Martin

City of Oconto

The City of Oconto will not be participating in No Mow May in 2026.

We apologize for the frustration this causes residents who respect and participate responsibly in the program.

The last couple years we have tried to come up with solutions to the problems it creates for the City, such as individuals who abuse the program and individuals not participating but allowing their lawns to over grow anyway.

Lawns that consist solely of turfgrass provide little to no benefits for pollinators. If you want to help local pollinators, check out the Wisconsin DNR’s website for ideas: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/endangeredresources/nativeplants, including Step-by-Step Native Landscaping Guide and 5 Steps to Planting a Pollinator Garden in Wisconsin.
