Committee accepts $8,000 DNR grant for lake protection and shoreland improvements
Summary
Marathon County accepted an $8,000 Wisconsin DNR grant aimed at lake protection and shoreland improvements; staff said the funds will support neighbor-led projects on Big Bass Lake if approved by the county board.
The Marathon County Human Resources, Finance and Property Committee voted unanimously to accept an $8,000 grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for lake protection and shoreland improvement projects.
Lori, representing county conservation staff, told the committee the county can group landowner projects to improve the chances of receiving DNR funding and that staff are prepared to begin work on Big Bass Lake projects in August if the county board approves the grant acceptance. Vice Chair Marshall moved approval and Supervisor Poole seconded; the committee approved the budget transfer and grant acceptance by voice vote with no opposition.
Ending: Staff will proceed with the DNR-funded activities if the full County Board confirms the grant; project implementation timelines will follow DNR and county procurement rules.
