Weekly News Blast: What a busy week! Since starting just a few weeks ago our town crew has joint and crack-sealed the following sections of road: Washington (CTH U – 90th), Lake Road (CTH U – 90th), Quarry Road (CTH U – 90th), Evergreen Road (CTH U – close to 90th), 87th Street cul-de-sac south of Lake Road; 88th St. (South Park – Lake Road). WOW! Zblewski Brothers were busy at the Transfer Station this week grinding the mountain of brush that had accumulated over the past year. The ground material was then hauled to Mosinee to be used as biofuel – another gain for recycling. YEAH! Finally Red Run removed the failed culvert on 90th Street just south of CTH W and installed a new poly-coated 55” diameter culvert. Thanks are extended to Supervisor Scott Provost who led this vital replacement, did all the calculations, and shot the elevations to ensure that this work will not need to be repeated for a least a couple generations. SUPER! Be careful in the hot weather slated for this weekend. Take care, Sharon

TOWN OF GRANT TO UPDATE ALL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

TOWN OF GRANT TO UPDATE ALL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PROJECTS THAT COULD MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF DISASTERS IN THE TOWN OF GRANT

Portage County Emergency Management Division will be updating Portage County’s All Hazard Mitigation Plan. As a requirement, we will be hosting a public informational and planning session to gather input from residents regarding ways to reduce the impacts of emergencies and disasters.

The public information and planning session will be held on:

Monday, September 9th, 2024 at 6:00PM at The Town of Grant Town Hall

9011 County Road WW, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin 54494

The meeting will provide the public the opportunity to identify the potential hazards that could occur within the Town of Grant. The goal is to document various mitigation measures intended to eliminate Or reduce the negative impacts of those hazards.  Opportunity to contribute without attending the meeting is also available by visiting townofgrant-portage.wi.gov/disaster/ and submitting your feedback online.

The US Federal government requires local and state governments to have a FEMA-Approved All-Hazard Mitigation Plan as established by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to qualify for Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project grant dollars. These programs are critical sources of Federal funding, especially for a community that wants to proactively initiate mitigation projects using PDM dollars, or for a community that needs HMGP funding following a Presidentially declared disaster.

For more information about this plan and meeting, please contact Portage County Emergency Management coordinator Bob Weinart at weinertr@co.portage.wi.gov or call 715-346-1437

More information is also available at townofgrant-portage.wi.gov/disaster/

One or more town officers may be present.

Stefanie Schlapa, Town of Grant Clerk
