Grant County mill rate increasing

Grant County homeowners will pay more in county property taxes next year. Supervisors approved a roughly 93-million-dollar 2027 budget Tuesday in a 14-to-1 vote. The county tax rate will rise from about $2.73 to $3.30 per thousand dollars of equalized value. That’s an increase of about $57 a year on a $100,000 property. The increase is largely tied to borrowing for highway projects and equipment. The operating portion of the tax rate is expected to decline. Board Chair Bob Keeney voted against the budget, citing concerns about the county’s fund balance.

765-kv transmission line developer seeks more public input as it readies plan for regulators

JANESVILLE — Midcontinent Grid Solutions is giving Wisconsin residents more time to sound off on its controversial, 190-mile Bell Center-Columbia-Sugar Creek-Illinois/Wisconsin transmission line expansion project. Midcontinent said Friday it intends to file with the state's Public Service Commission for a certificate of public necessity for the 180-foot-tall, 765-kilovolt transmission line "no sooner" than May 1, 2027. At the same time, the group intends to host more open houses leading up to its formal power-line proposal to the state. That's a shift in timeline for the project's approval process, but it comes as Midcontinent says it is scheduling more open houses to collect more public feedback on the potential route for the 190-mile-long transmission line that would run through Rock County and northward, then wrap westward north of Madison. Midcontinent says it intends to publicly release upcoming open house dates early in 2027. Midcontinent President Ryan Houck said Midcontinent has heard from landowners, local officials and residents about the developer's plan, which is being deemed necessary by Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), the regional grid operator that manages the flow of wholesale electricity across 15 states. MISO is saying that more midwest grid capacity is needed to support a boost in

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
