Colony Brands to shutter Janesville packaging facility

Hello, Rock County! Here are your top Wednesday headlines: As the warm season begins to shift to a chillier time, board members of the BID say that the downtown's Designated Outdoor Refreshment area, or DORA, was successful. The business improvement district looks to submit the outdoor cocktail pilot program it started this year for a permanent ordinance. Just outside the Kohl's store at Uptown Janesville mall, you'll find a tortoise and a hare. You'll find a glowing frozen lake. And you'll find an animatronic dragon "melting" a glasslike section of carpet with his flaming breath. It's your job to putt a neon-colored golf ball through all those obstacles en route to breaking par. Colony Brands plans to permanently close its Janesville operations facility by next March, consolidating its food gift packing operations at an existing facility in Sun Prairie. The Monroe-based company disclosed the planned closure of its facility at 200 W. Venture Dr., in an Oct. 30 notice filed with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. Milton High School will debut its fall musical "Mary Poppins," based on the Disney classic, this Friday at 7 p.m. at the Jon Platts Performing Arts Center. There are subsequent showings planned for

Uptown Janesville lands winter market through new management agreement

JANESVILLE — The Uptown Janesville mall lost its winter market when the Janesville Farmers Market opted this fall to move its over-winter spot to the downtown YMCA — but a new group is working to cultivate a new market at Uptown Janesville. Local nonprofit group Faire Market Institute, a cottage industry led by manager Alicia Klos, is operating The Janesville Mall Holiday Market at Uptown Janesville, the official name for the mall’s new winter market. The Uptown Janesville Holiday Market kicks off Saturday, Nov. 14. It’s specifically scheduled this year on weekends that are opposite the Janesville Farmers Market’s downtown market at the YMCA. “We didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. We wanted to go opposite their weekends,” Klos said. The Janesville Farmers Market had operated out of the mall for the last several years, but the group this year signed a contract to lease space for its winter market at the former Janesville Boys & Girls Club space at the YMCA off West Court Street. This year, Klos took over volunteer management of Milton’s Community Day Market. That’s a Friday night vendor and food market held on Milton’s east side once a month. Klos said many farmers market

We Energies customers face another rate hike — but smaller, as regulators, Milwaukee Common Council, push back on utility

We Energies customers are in for another round of rate hikes over the next two years, although not as steep as the utility first proposed. Wisconsin’s Public Service Commission voted Thursday to approve a roughly 7% increase in We Energies’ electricity rates spread across 2027 and 2028 — the utility’s sixth consecutive rate hike. The utility expects an average residential customer’s monthly bill to rise between $7 and $8 per month in 2027 and again by between $6 and $7 the following year.
