Weekly News Blast: It’s that time of year again – no, not just the holidays, but time to renew your dog license. Contact Treasurer Greg Hakala at treasurer@townofgrant-portage.wi.gov. or give him a call at 715-697-3901. The Town of Grant ranked #1 in Portage County for dog-licensing in 2024, thanks to our responsible dog-owners. Thank you! Let’s keep up our incredible record and show all the other municipalities how it’s done.   Our public works crew was busy brushing along our road rights of way this week. They have been doing a very nice job. This is a good time to remind everyone that now through February is a great time to prune or cut oaks without the risk of oak wilt infection. Oak wilt is an invasive fungal disease deadly to all Wisconsin oak species. One of the ways it spreads is by sap-feeding beetles that carry spores from infected trees to fresh wounds of healthy trees. Oak wilt is very expensive to treat, but prevention is effective and much less costly. One of the best ways to help protect oaks is to prune or cut in the winter. Have a very happy and safe New Year, Sharon

Weekly News Blast

The Public Works crew was busy brushing this week. Thanks to Brian, Dominic, Garry, and Supervisor Steltenpohl keeping everyone on task. The Board met very briefly on Wednesday to approve some repairs to the Diamond mower. So, things should be up and running perfectly again soon. Without snow a lot of brushing and clearing can be accomplished this fall and into winter.

The Plan Commission met this week. The Commissioners have been working on a Conditional Use Permit for a potential new business in the Town. Stay tuned for more information about that soon.

The Portage County Local Roads Improvement Program committee also met this week. Draft grants for the Mertz Subdivision, Elm Street (90th – 100th) and Lake Road (85th – 90th) were submitted. We have until mid-December to finalize those grant proposals which will then compete at the state level in hopes of securing anywhere from a 50-70% cost-share. These grants are highly competitive and according to new WisDOT rules now one large project per county (up to $1.5 million) will be awarded this grant cycle. We might need a minor miracle here…!

 You should have received our Summer/Fall newsletter in your mailbox this week. If you did not, please let me know at chair@townofgrant-portage.wi.gov.

 Another mild weekend looks to be on the books. If you’re out bow-hunting good luck! Sharon
