County agrees to sell land to Port, city to secure option

The Port Washington Common Council will purchase a three-year option to buy 6.67 acres at the intersection of highways LL and 33 from Ozaukee County for a new public safety complex.

Aldermen voted unanimously to buy the option for $5,000 following a roughly five minute closed session Tuesday night, accepting an offer made by the Ozaukee County Board last week.

After the initial three years, the option can be extended by the city for 90 days at a cost of $500, but City Administrator Tony Brown said that likely won’t be necessary.
