Antigo East Elementary School razed
ANTIGO — The aging East Elementary School was razed last week as the Antigo School District is coming closer to opening the new John H. Bradley Elementary School. In December 2025, the Antigo School Board voted to raze the vacant elementary school, which had a cost of about $150,000. The board and administrator decided on the option to raze the building to prepare the lots to eventually sell.

The district’s buildings were built in the 1960s and required infrastructural updates and upgrades to education. Oginski said during the December 2025 meeting, “The board wants to do what’s always fiscally responsible, but also it was very important to our board to make sure that we didn’t leave an eyesore of a vacant building.

Wausau alders were told in 2024 a lead pipe ordinance would earn state points. Without one, the city lost forgiveness, public works director says.
Wausau’s public works director blames the council for lost lead pipe forgiveness, and the record shows alders were told in 2024 an ordinance would earn state funding points. “Had the City Council passed the resolution timely the city would have scored within the principal forgiveness funding range,” Public Works and Utilities Director Eric Lindman wrote in a Nov. 4 memo to the Wausau Water Works Commission.

Wausau committee deadlocks on deadlines to clear logs, training from 1300 Cleveland Ave.
Neighbors of Wausau’s 1300 Cleveland Ave. property still have no timeline for the city to clear logs and end training at the site after a committee deadlocked Wednesday. Council President Terry Kilian proposed ending city training on the site by Feb. 1 and giving the parks department six months to move its log storage. The Economic Development Committee split 2-2 on that proposal. The committee later deadlocked 2-2 on a deed restriction barring future industrial use of the property. Staff said the restriction will go to the Wausau City Council on Nov. 24 regardless.
