Muskego approves liquor licenses for Lakeview Shell and Raised Grain Brewery

The Muskego Finance Committee convened on March 25, 2025, to discuss several key approvals that will impact local businesses and the community's financial management. Among the notable decisions was the approval of a Class A liquor license for Sunfish Ventures LLC, operating as Lakeview Shell, located at 17871 Janesville Road. This approval marks a significant change as the station transitions from its previous ownership, known as Johnny's.

In addition, the committee recommended approval for a full-service retail outlet for Raised Grain Brewery Company, set to participate in the Muskego National Night Out at Veterans Park on August 13, 2025. This event is anticipated to foster community engagement and support local businesses.

The committee also addressed financial matters, approving utility vouchers totaling $10,074.07 and tax vouchers amounting to $355,935. Furthermore, general fund vouchers were approved for $264,397.76, alongside payroll invoice transmittals of $412,743.07. Notably, a separate wire transfer for debt service was recommended for $1,289,635.

During the meeting, concerns were raised regarding a potential typo in a $300,000 voucher related to Little Lake, which will be investigated before any payment is processed. This highlights the committee's commitment to financial accuracy and transparency.

As the meeting concluded, the committee's decisions reflect ongoing efforts to support local businesses while ensuring responsible financial management for the City of Muskego. The outcomes of this meeting will play a crucial role in shaping community events and maintaining fiscal health in the coming months.
