Mayor's Community Update - 07/09/2018

Greetings!  The City of Waupun’s Community Development Authority (CDA) is conducting a survey evaluating potential streetscaping enhancements as part of the City’s efforts to plan for future public improvements to the downtown. These enhancements may include the addition of landscaping, street trees, decorative paving, extended sidewalks, crosswalk identification, and wayfinding signage. Also important to this plan is the potential inclusion of a public gathering place to host community and downtown events. This plan will serve as a long-term guide for continual improvement of Main Street and adjacent cross streets.   We are looking for your input and ask that you take a few minutes to complete a preference survey to help us assess priorities and design elements to enhance our downtown.  The survey will be available from July 6 to 30, 2018 and can be completed by visiting our website or by going to the following link:   https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WAUPUNWI.  For households without a computer or internet access, there will be hard copies available at the City Hall or the Waupun Public Library.   For more information please contact the Director of Economic Development, Kathy Schlieve, at 920-324-7912 or at kathy@cityofwaupun.org.  

Around town, on Thursday, July 12, Waupun Fine Arts, Inc.’s will host Rock River Band as part of their annual Music in the Park concert series.  The event will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Dodge Park.  The rain venue for this event is the Waupun Community Center on Spring Street.  Bring your lawn chairs and/or blanket and enjoy free entertainment.  Concessions will be served and a good will offering will be accepted.  The Waupun Fine Arts group is dedicated to promoting and supporting local artists of yesterday, today and tomorrow.  I hope to see you there!

See you around town! ~ Mayor Julie Nickel
