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!

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
