Weekly News Blast: Congratulations are extended to First Responders Jim Yetter, Jerry Reinwand, and Rob Mateer. All three received commendations from the Portage County EMS Association – Jim and Jerry for 25 years and Keith for 10 years. Next time you see them give them a hearty thank you! This holiday season the Town of Grant will be collaborating with Portage County Solid Waste Department and Habitat for Humanity by collecting Christmas light strands November – January (see the flyer). There will be a receptacle to drop off your lights at the Transfer Station. Ask an attendant if you don’t spot the location. The Town Board held its monthly meeting on Wednesday. Clerk Stefanie Schlapa has been very busy working on our 2026 budget, among all the other things due at year’s end – thank you! The budget hearing will be held on Monday December 1 beginning at 6:00pm. The Northern Lights were on display Wednesday evening. Here’s a beautiful picture right here from our Town! (Attached below) Fall is hanging on…for now. Enjoy, Sharon

Supervisor Provost also filled out the required DNR permit application. Thanks are extended to him for all his work to expedite this important work as we anticipate it will commence as soon as possible.

Supervisors Provost and Doug Steltenpohl, Clerk Stefanie Schlapa and Deputy-Clerk Vicky Zimmerman and I attended individual depositions requested by the legal counsel retained by former Supervisor Heather Grys-Luecht.

Grant sued Portage County over double taxation regarding ambulance service]. It is important to know that a town can sue and be sued. And so, it goes…

Don’t forget to get out and vote Tuesday April 1. The Town Hall will be open for voting from 7am until 8pm.

More wonky weather on the way this weekend…Sharon
