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. During that meeting, Superintendent Glenda Oginski said three or four people did a walk through of the building, but “once they saw the condition of the building and the amount of money it was going to take to renovate it, even just to simply be a viable storage facility, no one was interested.” In order for the school to be properly razed, there were two separate jobs involved including asbestos abatement and the demolition itself. 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 affordable housing fund on pace to spend $1.79 million in a year budgeted for zero
Wausau’s affordable housing fund is on track to spend $1.79 million this year, though the city’s adopted 2026 budget authorized no spending from the fund. The Wausau City Council takes up one piece of that spending Tuesday: a $650,000 budget amendment for a tax increment grant to Westside Commons. Gorman & Company built the 56-unit affordable apartment complex at 415 S. First Ave. As a change to the adopted budget, the amendment needs a two-thirds vote of the full council, or eight of 11 alders.
