Weekly News Blast: This week the public works crew continued to clear brush and trees along some town rights of way. Some residents have complained that they think it’s a waste of town time or money. But in fact, it’s all about safety. Providing clear viewing, especially at road intersections, allows drivers to spot other vehicles, pedestrians, bikers, pets, and wildlife to avoid accidents. In addition to brushing, the crew filled in the dips on 90th Street between County Road W and Griffith Avenue. Sorry to disappoint those of you who enjoyed the roller coaster ride along that road section – ha! This week’s Olympic theme of “Faster, Higher, Stronger” might not resonate with all of us, however I think it speaks to the idea of working to achieve great things. In my humble opinion the current town board has done work to uphold our charges to protect your health, safety, and welfare. It’s been a tumultuous time for our five town officers, but we will continue to think of you in harmony.   Have a safe weekend, 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
