Can you help?

Weekly Blast!: Something historic happened this week…Wait – did you think I was going to talk about baseball? Well of course, that was amazing! Milwaukee and all Wisconsinites have a lot to cheer. But I’m talking about the unanimous decisions by the Portage County Planning & Zoning Committee to approve the changes to our Zoning Ordinance to include the revised solar overlay map and rationale, and changes to our Comprehensive Plan to include our definition of data centers, prohibit them in all zoning districts, and create a “floating zone” which would require a zoning change with public input and the ability to say yes or no to that kind of development in our community. The Town of Grant becomes one of only a handful of municipalities in the state of Wisconsin that has used this land use change for their future planning. We the Town have had independent zoning for decades and times like these demonstrate the relevance of our independence. It was warming to hear members of the P&Z Committee congratulate the Town of Grant and thank us for “leading the way”. It has indeed been a historic week. Congratulations. Happy Halloween, Sharon

On the afternoon of Monday February 20 someone backed into the Transfer Station driveway and dumped a large amount of carpeting, its backing, and a dog toy west of the entry gate. The materials were urine-soaked. The Portage County Sheriff Department (PCSD) is investigating this littering incident. The PCSD and the Town of Grant is asking for your help. If you know who might have done this, please contact the non-emergency number for the PCSD at (715) 346-1400 or Town of Grant Chair Sharon Schwab at (715) 213-1717.

Thank you.
