Weekly News Blast: It’s been another busy week for the Town of Grant. Here’s the highlights: Portage County Circuit Court held a hearing on the summary judgment motions filed in both the public records case and the open meetings case filed against our Town by former Supervisor Heather Grys-Luecht.  The hearing lasted for about 3 hours between the two cases. A written decision may be available sometime in January, but the Court scheduled the cases for an Oral Ruling on March 16, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. Our congratulations and gratitude are extended to Kathy Lee and Diana Luecht who were serving on the Plan Commission (PC) as Secretary and Commissioner, respectively. Both ended their tenures on Wednesday with the conclusion of the PC’s revisions of the Zoning Ordinance. This was a monumental task, commencing nearly a decade ago, with stops and starts due to Covid, Board and Commissioner changes, and more. But now it’s ready for consideration by the Town Board, thanks, in part, to their assistance and insight. Three Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) grants were submitted this week for the following: Mertz Subdivision (1.9 miles); Elm Road ( 90th – 100th Streets S); and Lake Road ( 86th – 90th ). These will be reviewed by the Portage County Highway Commissioner before being submitted to the WisDOT State Review Committee for consideration in February. Although they ranked 5th, 6th, and 7th by the local LRIP Committee, this is only one parameter of consideration by the state committee. Our hope is that at least one of these projects is funded at a 50% cost-share, the minimum that was requested in our applications. Quite a bit of brushing and clearing was accomplished this week. Kudos to our Public Works crew! The snowplow operators were challenged first by lots and lots of snow to now, rain and ice!  It might be slippery out there so please be careful. Happy Holidays to you and yours, Sharon
