Weekly Blast!: Do you hold a Commercial Driver’s License? If so, the Town of Grant is seeking snowplow operators and might be interested in interviewing YOU! Hours are part-time, unpredictable, and totally weather dependent – CRAZY! But if your winters are spent here rather than Arizona or Florida give our Town Clerk a call at 715-213-7370 or the Town Hall at 715-423-9193 or email her at clerk@townofgrant-portage.wi.gov.   The failed culvert on 90th Street S between Quarry and County Road W was replaced this week. The culvert was provided by Wisconsin Flowgate and installed by Red Run Property Services. Our own crew was busy conducting maintenance on various roads by joint and crack-sealing, and patching holes. We’re never going to run out of work!   Are you an ATV or UTV enthusiast? A recent Department of Natural Resources report stated that Wisconsin leads the nation in fatalities. As of August 8th, there were 30. The three top causes were: failure to wear helmets, failure to wear seatbelts, and lack of completing a safety education course. If you love this recreational sport, please be careful out there. Take safety precautions to heart.   Have a good Labor Day weekend, Sharon

Weekly News Blast

This week Plan Commission Chair Jodi Lomma submitted a request to the Portage County Planning & Zoning Department to consider the rezoning of 14 parcels in the Town of Grant. Per Chair Lomma the rezones are being recommended based on how the property is being used, and alignment with the Future Land Use map in our Comprehensive Plan. She highlighted the following:

  • Of the 14 parcels, ten are being rezoned as Conservancy, one as Commercial, one as Transitional Agriculture, and two as General Agriculture
  • Public Hearing was held on 4/16/2024.
  • Plan Commission approved the recommendations on 5/21/2025
  • Town of Grant Board approved the rezones on 2/11/2026

On another subject this week our Public Works crew continued to brush along the Town rights-of-way and took care of plowing snow drifts where they occurred. Please be patient with our crew as they work along – they are doing a fine job.

Spring is sure to spring sometime soon! Sharon
