The 30-second brief
71 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Rock County's meetings, most in transportation and environmental services. The latest, from Oct 6: The board agenda scheduled a conditional use permit (CUP) for Spronk Bros III for a feedlot expansion in the NE 1/4 of Section 3 of Battle Plain Township. This is a land-use decision, not a county purchase, but it signals an external party moving ahead with a livestock facility expansion. Sellers tied to feedlot construction, waste handling, and related environmental compliance should track the outcome of the October 6, 2026 meeting.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Grants and Environmental Services.
