The Wausau Board of Public Works made significant strides in infrastructure development during their recent meeting on August 19, 2025. The board approved two key projects aimed at enhancing local facilities and services.

First, the board unanimously approved the 2025 Asphalt Milling Project, awarding the contract to Merrill Gravel and Company and Northeast Asphalt. This project is expected to improve road conditions throughout the city, ensuring safer and more efficient travel for residents.

In addition, the board greenlit the 2025 Athletic Park parking lot project, selecting Integrity Grading and Excavating, Pembroke Companies, PGA, and Vinton for the task. This upgrade will enhance access to the park, benefiting community members who utilize the facility for recreational activities.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting a productive session focused on advancing Wausau's infrastructure. These projects are set to have a positive impact on the community, improving both transportation and recreational access for residents.
