The reopening of recreation facilities and gathering spaces, which had a major impact on the lives of Kimberly residents this year, was celebrated by President Chuck Kuen as he reviewed events in the village in 2021.
“It was an outstanding event!” Combined Locks Village President John Neumeier said of the July Centennial Celebration held in conjunction with Paperfest at the village’s Memorial Park.
A major highlight to the year 2021 in Buchanan is the completion of the reconstruction of Creekview Lane and Railroad Street, a project completed with Kimberly.
A continued year of growth in the village, the opening of an important river crossing over the Fox River and dealing with at least two ongoing situations with the Outagamie County Landfill all were part of 2021 in Little Chute.
The combination of a sluggish supply chain and increasing prices meant there was no time like the present to lock in the purchase of a new, third ambulance for use by the Kaukauna Fire Department.
The purchase was discussed and approved at the Dec. 21 Common Council meeting, the final session of the year.
The Christmas season often is about some surprises. One that came the city’s way recently focused on the Division Street rail crossing on the city’s north side.
The city received a small gift in the form of good news that was shared at the Dec. 20 Board of Public Works meeting.
The Kimberly Village Board decided that waiting 20 years for a salary adjustment was long enough last week and awarded themselves annual pay raises in the amount of $5,000 for each trustee and $8,500 for village president.
The Buchanan Town Board approved an intergovernmental agreement between Calumet County and the town for treatment of stormwater runoff from highway right-of-way to Speedway Heights Pond at last week’s town board meeting.
