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 Blast!

It’s been a great week for the Town of Grant. Our heartfelt congratulations go to Jim Yetter for his decades-long commitment to our community. Representative Vinnie Miresse presented a Citation of Commendation to Jim at our Board meeting (attachment Citation). The T. Grant First Responders were present in their dress blues, along with representatives from the T. Grand Rapids Fire Department and United Emergency Medical Response.

Kudos to all 469 voters who voted on Tuesday! Special thanks go to all our Election Workers and Town Clerk who made everything run so smoothly. Keep that energy up, register at myvote.wi.gov, and get ready to pick a new governor this November.

The Board held its monthly meeting on Wednesday. There were revisions to our Domestic Fowl Ordinance, a new Ordinance re: Fire Protection and a new Policy re: Deer Carcasses. We approved a culvert replacement for 90th Street between Mill and Quarry Roads, and for 30 loads of road base for the northern ½ of 87th Street between Tower and Evergreen Avenues.

The Kellner Corn Fest is happening this weekend August 14-15. The parade will start at 11am on Saturday with our own Steve Dobeck on grader, Leo Kruger on Case loader, Donna & Larry Wagner in our 1T pick-up, and Stefanie Schlapa and son on foot with treats for the crowd. Give a big hand for them as they pass by the parade route.

Have a wonderful weekend with our wonderful community, Sharon
