Egg Harbor has seen a lot of change over the years from a new marina, an expanded beach, the Kress Pavilion and many new shops and restaurants.  The infrastructure plans are coming to fruition which will be happening soon.   The plans are in the works for streets, parking, bike lanes and pedestrian improvements during the next three years.  The construction will begin at the end of 2022 and is expected to be completed in 2023. The Wisconsin DOT will repave Highway 42 through the village in 2022-23.

Starting this spring, Egg Harbor will be removing a concrete seawall at the north end of the beach to expand the sand on the beach.  Which means, more room and greater access to the bay of Green Bay.  Come stay with us and have loads of fun at the beach!
