The Door County and Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporations announce that the biennial Legislative Days events are scheduled for April 19-20, 2023 in Madison.
Door / Kewaunee County Legislative Days is a biennial trip to the state capitol in Madison by Door and Kewaunee County residents, elected officials, business owners and other stakeholders, to bring a locally agreed-upon agenda of Door/Kewaunee County issues directly to state elected officials and government agency leaders.
The next Door / Kewaunee County Legislative Days event in 2023 will continue to build on the success of past legislative days events, starting in 2003. Those events brought specific concerns of the community directly to elected representatives and influential government appointees in Madison.
“We are proud to continue the great legacy of Door and Kewaunee County collaborating to address issues that impact our communities,” says Executive Director Michelle Lawrie, Door County Economic Development Corporation. “There are many ways for residents and businesses to participate in the events . . . traveling to Madison with the delegation is just one of them.”
Legislative Day events will be held at the Park Hotel in Madison.
