The Story

Council voted 7-1 to apply for a Wisconsin DNR boating grant to replace the Veterans Park docks, with the project capped at $100,000. The city’s share was described as $25,000, with possible funding from boat launch fees, sponsorships, and 2027 borrowing—while council also noted the real “do we pay for it” decision comes later.
