Weekly Blast!

Every once in awhile I sit back and think how lucky I am to work alongside such a great group of dedicated and smart folks on the board, committees, and employed here in the Town of Grant. This week a lot was accomplished. Here are just a few items:

  1. Public Works employees Leo Kruger and Garry Saeger cleaned out the basin of the oil tank, prepped the new basin for the anti-freeze drums, and built an overhang structure for both. It’s exciting to offer these recycling opportunities for our residents and to add to our overall good marks for the Transfer Station.
  2. Plan Commissioners Jodi Lomma, Kathy Lee, Tom Reitter, Jeanne Eggebrecht, along with Supervisor Doug Steltenpohl, Clerk Stefanie Schlapa and I met to review and consider the final change to our Comprehensive Plan regarding data centers. Recent updates to both our Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance will be heard by the Portage County Planning & Zoning Committee on Tuesday October 27th.
  3. More road base was being hauled onto 100th Street north of Elm and graded by operator Steve Dobeck. SolutionZ LLC from Marshfield paved over the culvert recently replaced on 90th Street south of County Road W.
  4. Clerk Schlapa, Treasurer Greg Hakala and I met to review the draft 2027 proposed budget. Thanks to Stefanie for prepping the draft prior to our meeting. The budget hearing will be held in November. More to follow on that…

Enjoy yet another beautiful weekend. And unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you know there’s a little baseball game starting this evening at 7pm. Go Brewers!!! Cheers, Sharon
