Fond du Lac County Update, Allen Buechel

Allen has been supervisor and county executive for around 43 years. Allen presented the new plan for new intersection of Hwy 23 and K. Good news; the state should start work on Hwy 23 this year in Sheboygan County. They have $19.4 million to start this year. Bad news, they wouldn’t finish at Hwy K until 2022. The County hopes to start the railroad overpass at Hwy N (Kinker Rd.) this fall. It will cost about $4.5 million but will stop the blockage of roads North of Fond du Lac by trains. Take a ride to South Hickory to see the new County Garage. This will replace the one on Dixie St. In addition it will have an outdoor shooting range; Sheriff’s impound lot and storage for Senior Service vehicles. Around May 1st the County/City building will have new security check point entrance. All traffic will enter thru the North door.
