In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a significant erosion mitigation project along the Lake Michigan Bluff, which has been in development for nearly four years. The project, funded through a FEMA grant covering 75% of the costs, aims to enhance safety at a village-owned park and protect adjacent infrastructure from ongoing erosion.

The contract for the project was awarded after bids came in below the estimated costs, a positive outcome that was acknowledged by officials. One member of the council commended the department for their efforts in securing the grant, highlighting the challenges faced over the past couple of years.

The meeting also touched on community events, with a council member promoting the upcoming Racine County Fair, encouraging residents to participate and submit entries. The fair, which begins Wednesday, is a cherished local tradition, and the member shared personal anecdotes about their involvement in 4-H and judging antiques.

Additionally, the Bromelodge Festival was mentioned, with an emphasis on supporting local Italian cuisine. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting a productive session focused on community development and engagement.
