See Something – Say Something – Town of Grant, Portage Co

Weekly News Blast: There are two issues of note this week. The Plan Commission met and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation regarding revisions to the Town of Grant Zoning Ordinance. Our thanks are extended to Secretary Kathy Lee who put together a very comprehensive PPoint which will be presented on Wednesday January 22 at the Public Hearing beginning at 6:30pm. You can preview the UPDATED PowerPoint Presentation if interested. Yesterday the Public Service Commission (PSC) of Wisconsin signed and served their final decision on the Vista Sands Solar project. If you are inclined to read the 70+ page document you can do that also (click for document). Jon Baker, representative for VSS gave a brief update to the Plan Commission on Wednesday indicating that construction may begin in 2026 and anticipated that it will take two years to construct. Like many decisions there are those that will agree and others that will disagree with the PSC. Regardless of where you stand there is no disagreement that it will change the Town of Grant landscape for a least a generation. Enjoy the warm days while they last and be prepared for the Artic blast pending. Stay safe, Sharon

See Something – Say Something

Some individual(s) have been cutting trees and dropping them onto the road. This has included 6 trees over the past 2 or 3 days. Two trees were on Deer road at about 120th Street …one tree on 100th between Deer and Griffith. two trees on Maple between 120th and 130th and one on Buena Vista about 200 feet from County F.

This is an obvious safety issue. Citizens and visitors to the town could be injured, and vehicles could be damaged. It is taking time and energy of town employees to clear the obstructions.

Please, if you see something, say something. Call 911 and report anyone cutting trees and dropping them on the road to the Portage County Sheriff’s Department. Notify a town official so the tree can be removed..
