Proposed Zoning Ordinance and Zoning District Changes

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
