The City of Menomonie together with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) have been exploring the use of roundabouts for at least a decade. At the April 2024 meeting of the Menomonie City Council a resolution was passed endorsing the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of State Highway 25, County Road BB West and Wilson Street. Also under consideration is the intersection of Highway 25, County Road BB East and Northline Road.

APPLETON, Wis. – Menomonie High School graduate Gaby Skorczewski competed in four events for Lawrence University at the Midwest Conference (MWC) Women’s Indoor Track and Field Championship at Monmouth College, Feb. 28-March 1 and came away with three fifth place finishes.

Skorczewski, a sophomore double majoring in Spanish and linguistics, competed individually in the 400-meter run and in three relay events – the 4×200-meter, the 4×400-meter and the 1600m sprint medley relay (SMR).

In 2024, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reported 18.1 per cent increase in the number of homeless people in the U.S. Housing has become a national problem – and Menomonie is part of that picture.

A group of concerned citizens from a non-profit local group called GROWW (Grass Roots Organization Western Wisconsin) has been working to draw attention to Menomonie’s housing problem. GROWW favors more grass-roots local control and citizen involvement.
