Can you help?

Weekly Blast!: This week we note the passing of former Chairman Alden Pedersen who died in Fond du Lac on Friday July 31st. Alden was the chairman for the Town of Grant from 1997-2002. Our thanks are extended to Supervisor Scott Provost who secured a Wisconsin Department of Transportation Local Small Structures Improvement Program grant. The grant, for $22,500, will pay 90% of the $25,000 cost to replace a culvert on Griffith Avenue between County Highway F and 110th Street South. We are in the process of discontinuing a section of this road, but public access and safety must be retained through this process. Wisconsin DNR land abuts a portion of this road section and replacement of the culvert will maintain proper water flow through this area. And thanks are also greatly extended to Clerk Stefanie Schlapa who compiled all the costs related to the severe snow and wind events in mid-March. She carefully documented the damages and recovery costs. Recently, the Wisconsin Disaster Fund (WDF) verified the cost of recovery totaling $14,095.44 of which the Town was sent $9,866.81 from the WDF. Treasurer Greg Hakala noted just today that this amount was automatically deposited in the Local Government Investment Pool to begin accruing interest through this valuable state program. Have a great weekend. Stay cool, if possible, 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.
