Port Wing pursues town-hall repairs, grant funding; solar, blacktop and harbor updates noted
Summary
Town volunteers and committee members asked the board to pursue a state Public Facilities block grant for town-hall repairs (67% state/33% town). The board heard updates on blacktop grant work, a solar project due June 2026, Twin Falls Park mapping and likely harbor dredging in 2026.
Members of Port Wing’s committees updated the board on community and infrastructure work during the Jan. 12 meeting.
Sheila Bergman and Leann Hess reported on Park Committee activities and raised a specific facilities need at Port Wing Town Hall: the kitchen vent hood needs replacement. Board members discussed finding a local sheet-metal shop to fabricate a hood. Bergman noted the town could seek a Public Facilities block grant to help cover upgrades; the minutes record the grant cost share as roughly 67% state and 33% town for eligible work such as windows, acoustics and kitchen improvements.
David Broadwell told the board he is mapping Twin Falls Park for the town. Separately, Ken Bodeen said he is pursuing grants for planned blacktop projects. The minutes note the town’s solar project is scheduled to be completed in June 2026. Board members also discussed that harbor dredging will likely occur in 2026; no contractor or funding details were recorded in the minutes.
In the town-crew update, Troy Kavajecz described recent snowplowing, removal of holiday decorations, added lights to the garage and use of tire chains; the crew discussed painting the water tower. The minutes note a staff member identified as 'Sam' will attend a seminar on sewer-plant maintenance to support future sewer-rate discussions.
