One step forward, one back for Cedar Vineyard

It’s one step forward and one step back for the proposed Cedar Vineyard subdivision on Port Washington’s southeast side.

City Administrator Mark Grams said Monday that developer Tom Swarthout and Waukesha State Bank have reached an agreement on the price of the 227-acre parcel.

However, he said, the agreement is contingent on two $1 million grants, one of which has expired.

The $1 million Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program Grant awarded to the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust elapsed when the new fiscal year began July 1, Grams said.
