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

Weekly Blast!

The 162nd Annual Meeting of the Town of Grant was held Tuesday. Thanks are extended to all those in attendance. Clerk Stefanie Schlapa provided the Annual Report detailing our 2025 finances. Other reports from the Town of Grand Rapids Fire Department, United Emergency Medical Response, Town of Grant Plan Commission, and more were heard. Residents opted to continue with our annual Choose to Reuse and Tire Day. This year it will be held Saturday May 16 – mark your calendars! Our ATV/UTV Ordinance was updated and a new Recycling Ordinance introduced –including new requirements per state administrative rules and statutes.

 

This morning, I accompanied our grader operator to check all the unsurfaced roads in the Town. We noted where road base is needed and other basic maintenance for the season. There is still quite a bit of tree debris to clear before some of the roads can be properly maintained, but we’ll get to it!

 

Enjoy the weekend with temps ranging from 30s to 50s. Those temps haven’t kept the ticks from slowing down, that’s for sure. Watch for the little buggers, Sharon
