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

There are two issues of note this week. The Plan Commission met and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation regarding revisions to the Town of Grant Zoning Ordinance. Our thanks are extended to Secretary Kathy Lee who put together a very comprehensive PPoint which will be presented on Wednesday January 22 at the Public Hearing beginning at 6:30pm.  You can preview the UPDATED PowerPoint Presentation if interested.

Yesterday the Public Service Commission (PSC) of Wisconsin signed and served their final decision on the Vista Sands Solar project. If you are inclined to read the 70+ page document you can do that also (click for document). Jon Baker, representative for VSS gave a brief update to the Plan Commission on Wednesday indicating that construction may begin in 2026 and anticipated that it will take two years to construct. Like many decisions there are those that will agree and others that will disagree with the PSC. Regardless of where you stand there is no disagreement that it will change the Town of Grant landscape for a least a generation.

Enjoy the warm days while they last and be prepared for the Artic blast pending. Stay safe, Sharon
