Port-Saukville deal to open land to development

After decades of debate and sporadic negotiation, the City of Port Washington and Village of Saukville have reached an agreement that will give the city control of property it owns on the far west side of the community.

The Common Council on Tuesday offered no comments before unanimously approving a deal that has the city paying the village $100,000 over the next four years in return for the ability to extend sewer service to the 40-acre parcel on the south side of Highway 33 east of Jackson Road known as the Schanen farm.
