"Our goal is really about having diversified housing options," Johnson says. "Everybody deserves a good, clean, safe environment to live." On the entertainment side, the Broadway District landed a Levitt AMP grant, which provided $25,000 in matching funds to put on free live music shows. e Tuesday night concerts, running at the CityDeck through Aug. 27, continue to grow in popularity, Johnson says. e restaurant scene also is booming, Mirkes says, with the city becoming known for its concentration of some of the area's top-tier eateries. Chef Chris Wiltfang opened two restaurants in one building on Adams Street downtown. Casual eatery Skaliwags Burger Co. operates in the front, and the higher-end High Cotton Club offers a more intimate setting in the back. Republic Chophouse expanded, adding a wine wall with more than 2,000 bottles of wine, a patio for outdoor dining and two private dining rooms. e high-end Hotel Northland, which opened in February, is going strong with its fine dining restaurant e Walnut Room and Poke the Bear sports restaurant. Mirkes says the hotel offers impressive hospitality and provides a unique venue for special events, including e Alley, a space for private parties that includes two bowling lanes, pool tables and shuffleboard. Outside of downtown, Bay Beach Amusement Park continues to expand with the opening of the Big Wheel, the park's new 100-foot Ferris wheel. Bay Beach is also looking at purchasing additional property east of the park and planning for the next phase of expansion, Vonck says. High water has posed a challenge for development of the beachfront, but work is expected to get underway later this summer. e plan includes opening a 1,000-foot sand beach with a pier, boardwalk and wildlife viewing area. In June, the project received a $100,000 grant from the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program.
