Kewaskum Village Announces New Municipal Open House Date

The Village of Kewaskum prepares to officially open its brand new municipal building, consisting of the Village Hall and Police Department, this spring. The community is invited to celebrate this milestone at an Open House with a tentative date of Wednesday, May 7. This date is symbolic because it also marks the 130th anniversary of the Village of Kewaskum.
The vision for a new municipal building has been in discussion since 2014, with significant planning beginning in 2019 and official construction launching in 2021. From the start, the goal was to create a modern, functional space that meets the needs of the village for the next 80 years and beyond.
“This has been a long time coming,” said Adam Gitter, Village Administrator. “We’ve put a lot of thought into making sure this building serves the needs of our community, not just today, but well into the future.”
The new Village Hall and Police Department will provide much-needed storage space along with improved facilities and technology.
“One of the most exciting parts of this project is that we will be bringing back community spaces,” Gitter explained. “Groups will once again have a place to gather and meet. Additionally, we’ve invested in technology to livestream village meetings, making it easier for residents to stay informed.”

The village has made cost-effective decisions throughout the project, handling some tasks in-house to save money such as assembling furniture themselves. These efforts have allowed the community to maximize resources and cut costs whenever possible.
“This has truly been a team effort, and we’re proud of the work that’s gone into making this happen,” said the Administrator.
The May 7 Open House will give residents the opportunity to tour the new building and celebrate Kewaskum’s growth. Citizens should remember this date could be subject to change.
The event will also feature refreshments from local businesses, with Great Outdoors and Piggly Wiggly offering snacks and drinks.
This building represents an investment in the community and village board members are excited to share the facility with the public.
With the final stages of construction wrapping up in April, the village remains on track for the May celebration. While the date is tentative and subject to final construction timelines, residents are encouraged to mark their calendars and stay tuned for more details.
