Important Meeting Tonight

Tonight at 7 PM the New Glarus Village Board is holding its regular meeting in the Village Hall Community Room to discuss the greenspace at the Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church. This is our opportunity to encourage the Village Board to accept the 2.2-acre greenspace as a donation and incorporate it into Candy Cane Park so it is not developed.

It is important that the New Glarus community attend this meeting if it does not want this land to be developed. The Village needs to assume ownership of the land and to maintain it so it can be enjoyed for generations to come. There is still a real possibility the Village either does not agree to accept the land as a donation or agree to maintain (i.e. mow) the property. We encourage everyone interested in preserving this vital greenspace to attend this meeting. We want as many people that attended the Park & Recreation Committee meeting last month to attend this meeting as well. Again, the meeting is Tuesday (December 6, 2022) at 7 PM. If you have any questions or need a ride, please let us know.
