Road Closure: The following is an important message from Nathan Check, Portage County Highway Commissioner: Portage County Highway Department will be closing CTH U(80th Street South) between Church Avenue and Quarry Road. The culvert is located approximately 800’ south of Quarry Road. The nearest address is 8330 80th Street S, Wisconsin Rapids which will need to be accessed from the north. The Highway Department is in the process of setting up a detour which will utilize STH 73 to CTH F to CTH W. Road opening will depend on the damage assessment once flows are reduced.

Weekly News Blast

I hope that you and yours had a good Thanksgiving holiday (and didn’t eat too much – ha)! Central WI is expecting snow, perhaps beginning as early as this evening. Please be patient with us as we will not be fully staffed until sometime next week. Some roads may be slow to be cleared as a result.  

 There are many in the Town of Grant who I want to thank for assisting us in so many tasks. First and foremost, our town officers: Supervisors Scott Provost and Doug Steltenpohl, Treasurer Greg Hakala and Clerk Stefanie Schlapa. Our clerk has been assisted by Deputy Clerks Kathy Rogers and Vicky Zimmerman.  Our Plan Commissioners: Chair Jodi Lomma, Jeanne Eggebrecht, Diana Luecht, Tom Reitter, and Secretary Kathy Lee  (who doubles as our Webmaster)! Next, our Public Works employees: Dominic Devito, Steve Dobeck, Brian Kuhlman, Jerry Reinwand, and Jim Yetter. Our Transfer Station employees: Garry Saeger, Larry Wagner, and Sandy Wood. Our Election workers: Lead Julie Kramer, Renee Burda, Sharon Crawford, Dawn Graff, Jan Lassa, Diana Luecht, Jane Rosicky, Laura Vanderhei, and Marge Weinfurter. Our First Responders: Chief Jerry Reinwand, Captain Rob Mateer, Krystal Clark, Keith Kardash, and Jim Yetter. Our Zoning Administrator Andrea Musch and our Color Guard Trudy Knipple. My apologies if I overlooked someone who helped our Town run in 2025. Everyone listed deserves our sincere thanks.

 The Portage County Solid Waste Department is offering both residents and non-residents free deer carcass disposal until January 31, 2026.  A kiosk and dumpster are located on the east side of the main parking lot at 600 Moore Road in Plover. Please be reminded that it is illegal to dispose of waste on public lands, or road rights of way.

 Have a safe (and perhaps snowy) weekend, Sharon
