Letter from the Mayor – August 16, 2024
August 16, 2024
This will be the first of regular letters from myself as Mayor of the great City of Oconto. I have been Mayor for approximately four months. In that time, I have been privileged to work with the different Department Heads. Each day, I learn more about the workings of the City and the many jobs each department accomplishes every day.
I would like to update everyone on some new and exciting things happening in the City:
With the help from our team at City Hall and TEDCOR, we have some great news about two of the buildings downtown. The old laundromat and the building next door to the east along Family Dollar’s parking lot. The developer will be tearing the buildings down potentially this fall/winter, with construction starting next year. I have attached the preliminary plan for the new building which will contain retail space on the first floor with apartments and/or Airbnb rooms on the second floor.
Also, our team at City Hall has worked hard to bring back our Building Inspector, Joe Last. Joe started 8/12/2024 and is already making a difference.
Regards,
Cliff Martin
Mayor City of Oconto
