Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Manitowoc public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Silver Creek Stream Restoration
The council approved the Silver Creek restoration, with over $1 million in grants already secured and a WIDNR grant application pending for the last $40,000 — all without touching local tax dollars.
Environmental Lawsuit
Manitowoc’s lawsuit over contamination from the old Mirro plant is now in federal court. The ruling could change who pays for cleanup and what happens next to the polluted property. If you care about taxes, redevelopment, or local environmental risk, this case matters.
Winter Storm Parking Ban
Manitowoc has declared a winter parking ban because of the storm. If your car is on the street, move it or you could get a ticket or be towed.
