Welcome to the Village of North Bay

Located in Racine County, Wisconsin

The Village of North Bay is a fully developed, picturesque residential community nestled in the serene environment of eastern Racine County, Wisconsin, along the majestic shore of Lake Michigan. This tranquil village, with its 97 homes and a small population of just under 210 residents, is distinguished by its commitment to providing an exceptionally high quality of life within a peaceful setting.

The Village of North Bay is governed by an elected, six-member Executive Board, which is responsible for the administration and strategic direction of the community. The Board is composed of a Village President, a Village Clerk, a Village Treasurer, and three elected Trustees. These dedicated board members are elected by the residents to serve staggered, two-year terms, ensuring both continuity and regular accountability.

The Executive Board conducts its regular business and deliberations at public meetings held on the second Monday of each month. These meetings take place at the Village Hall, which is located at 3615 Hennepin Place. While this is the standard schedule, meetings are subject to change with notice. All Board meetings are open and accessible to the public, fostering transparency and encouraging resident participation in local governance.
