3.16.21  We are very pleased that the Egg Harbor Town Board Members voted unanimously to deny the Dollar General Proposal for the intersection of Hwy 42/Hillside Rd. The denial reasons cited were based on Town Ordinances for Roads & Driveways along with traffic and safety concerns. Our Town Board listened to the overwhelming public opposition and did the right thing to preserve the scenic, unique, rural character of our Town from this proposal.

This Pulse article provides a summary of last night’s Town Board Meeting:

We are thankful to our core committee of We Are Eggs Against Dollar General who worked tirelessly since last October to create public awareness of the Dollar General Proposal, conducted research on Town Ordinances, reviewed the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, analyzed & documented the dangerous nature of the proposed intersection & driveway. WAEADG provided our findings to the Town Board for their review and consideration. Attorney Tyler Pluff of Pinkert Law provided us with valuable legal advice to further our case.

No doubt, this is a WIN...… development must be carefully planned in order to preserve the beautiful scenery, the rural character, and uniqueness of the Town of Egg Harbor and the entire Door Peninsula.

We’ve got some big legal expenses coming up. Thank you if you are able to contribute to our legal fund at Nicolet Bank, 7842 WI-42, Egg Harbor, WI 54209
