This Small Wisconsin Community’s Golf Course Just Ranked No. 2 Among The Best Public Courses In The State

A legendary golf course vanished in the 1940s, and someone rebuilt it hole for hole roughly a century after it first opened. Not on Long Island, where it started, but in the sandy pine country of central Wisconsin. The original was designed by C.B. Macdonald and opened in 1917. Golf...

Property Committee dims on campus solar array proposal

The Barron County Property Committee, at its Monday, Nov. 9, meeting, indefinitely tabled pursuing a solar array project at UW-Eau Claire — Barron County, opting to keep the green space as is rather than filling it with solar panels to potentially raise funds for the university and county. The committee members had a copy of a Solar Feasibility Study that was prepared by Upper 90, a Centrix Company. According to the study’s executive summary, the county and campus engaged in the firm to evaluate the feasibility of a ground-mounted solar array on undeveloped county-owned land at the campus at 1800 College Drive, Rice Lake. The study was funded by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant. It presented two options, both of which would generate more electricity than the entire campus currently uses in a year. The second option would generate roughly three times campus usage. The study said the array site — east of the main campus — appears workable as it sits away from the Red Cedar River mitigating DNR shoreline/floodplain concerns. It stated that the main obstacles would include relocating a portion of the adjacent disc golf course and installing a security fencing

Residents raise concerns of raised farmer’s market contract fees

EAU CLAIRE — Residents filled the Eau Claire City Council chambers this week, raising concerns regarding potential raised fees in a contract with the Eau Claire Downtown Farmer’s Market. On social media, concerns first arose, noting a potential price spike which would increase the cost of their contract by 200%, more than tripling the price. During public comment on Monday night, Eau Claire Downtown Farmer’s Market Board Member and vendor representative True Vue said, “I want to begin by saying that our intention tonight is not to create any conflict with the city. We value our relationship with the city of Eau Claire and we love the place where our farmer’s market is right now. We are here because we care about this community and we want to find a solution that allows the farmer’s market and the city to continue working together. “Our concern is the proposed increase in the pavilion reservation fees. It was given to us, we did send back a different proposal, it came back to us denied, and we don’t agree with what’s been given to us. And hence why we are bringing it forward to the city council to be aware of.” In addition

Eau Claire City Council members propose changes to downtown paid parking

EAU CLAIRE — Some members of Eau Claire City Council are proposing changes to paid parking downtown. Introduced by Council Members Andrew Werthmann and Aaron Brewster, the changes would eliminate Tier 1 $0.50 parking zones and change the hours of paid parking from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. to 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The City Council is expected to give the ordinance amendment a first read today, with a vote during a future meeting. Brewster said he believes these proposed changes are in line with some of the things they have heard and seen in regard to downtown parking. “I think it’s important to have a framework for discussion,” he said. “Having that baseline to start the conversation is important, because if we show up to council and say, ‘Well, what are we going to do about parking?’ Then you can end up with some really unproductive conversations. So having a place to focus the different changes on, I think, would be useful.” Some concerns include the effectiveness of the Tier 1 zones and the hours that parking enforcement would have to operate. Brewster said there was interest in proposing some of these changes in January with six months

Eau Claire shares preview of downtown business report

EAU CLAIRE — A preview of downtown business activity reflects more than six years of data, as the City of Eau Claire’s Economic Development Division hopes to show how the entire district has evolved. Economic Development Specialist Kendall Williams said data tracking starts in 2021 and measures up to the end of 2026. A full report is expected to come out in the first quarter of 2027, detailed in five parts focusing on different downtown districts. “One will be for North Barstow Medical District, one will be South Barstow Medical District, one will be Water Street, one will be West Grand Avenue and then there will be one that combines all of the districts to make one downtown district,” she said. “The purpose of this is to establish a baseline because we have reports from all throughout the revitalization of downtown. We’re able to do comparisons to where we were, but we didn’t have a modern baseline for what commercial spaces are even available within our new districts as new buildings have been built over the last few decades. So this is helping us start with that modern commercial inventory.” Through the Downtown Business Trends Report, Williams said they also
