Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels
For some 2022 was a year to remember, including for the City of Manitowoc.
Mayor Justin Nickels was on the WCUB Breakfast Club earlier this week, and he called last year one of Manitowoc’s best years.
“I mean, you think from just a business standpoint, we filled up the industrial park, downtown continued to grow, the River Point District, we switched to two-way streets,” he recalled. “Overall, building permits and everything, we hit one of our best years on record…We did a lot in the City of Manitowoc last year.”
The mayor also noted that the changeover to two-way streets in the downtown area has gone smoothly, and people are starting to become accustomed to the new normal.
“I live downtown, so I get to see people up close, and how they drive,” Nickels revealed. “I can tell you, over the last few months here, it has gotten better.”
Nickels said he is also looking forward to a successful 2023.
