The Fitchburg, WI Board of Public Works held a meeting on June 15, 2023, focusing on several procurement and capital improvement projects.

The board also approved the award of the 2026 sidewalk and related concrete project to Duth Concrete LLC for approximately $243,000, noting an increase in the capital projects fund budget due to higher special assessment revenues from commercial properties.

The board reviewed and approved the 2027-2036 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for public works, covering building maintenance, parks, streets, sewer, stormwater, and water projects, with some adjustments to project timelines and funding.
