County allocates funds for street lights in Wheaton Creek development

The Public Works Committee meeting held on June 9, 2025, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, focused on several key developments regarding local infrastructure projects. The primary agenda item addressed was the Wheaton Creek project, specifically the installation of street lights.

During the meeting, it was noted that there had been some miscommunication regarding the funding for the street lights. The county expressed its intention to install these lights as part of the project, which was previously agreed upon. To facilitate this, the committee discussed reallocating savings identified from the Eighteenth Street project to cover the costs associated with the street lights.

Committee members acknowledged the importance of the street lighting, especially as the road is being redesigned to enhance pedestrian access. The improvements aim to create a more walkable environment, which is currently lacking. The addition of adequate street lighting was viewed positively, with members agreeing that it would significantly benefit the community.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to improving local infrastructure and ensuring that necessary amenities, such as street lighting, are adequately funded and implemented. Further steps will be taken to finalize the funding transfer and proceed with the installation as part of the ongoing Wheaton Creek project.
