The district is planning a major high school modernization, including demolishing 1970s-era sections, building two new 2-story additions, science labs, AG spaces, a greenhouse, a modern library, admin offices, and circulation and parking improvements. Option 3, a $99.5 million package to be lowered to $97.5 million, is the administrative recommendation for the capital referendum. This is still in planning, with scope and budget being refined ahead of an August 10 resolution and a November 2026 ballot, creating upcoming opportunities for design, construction, and related services.
The Village is initiating a 2026 Sidewalk Replacement Project and has drafted a preliminary special assessment resolution for properties along several streets. The Public Facilities Director must now prepare plans, specifications, and an assessment schedule, followed by a public hearing. Construction work and contracting for concrete and related services are still ahead. This is a near-term opportunity for sidewalk contractors, concrete suppliers, and engineering support to engage on scope, phasing, and pricing before bids are set.
The board is reviewing an updated November 2026 referendum presentation covering both an operational referendum and a major high school capital referendum. Options include a recurring four-year operational package and high school work around demolishing and replacing 1970s wings, with budgets in the $96–$99.5 million range. This is early-stage but detailed capital and operating planning that will drive large construction, engineering, and program procurements once voters approve.
Administration and its core team (WCSD, EUA, Vogel) are planning a major high school modernization for a November 2026 capital referendum, focused on demolishing 1970s-era portions, building two new 2-story additions, and renovating about 20,000 SF. The preferred option is a $99.5 million plan, potentially reduced to $97.5 million, including academic space, circulation improvements, and outdoor athletic facilities, plus separate analysis of athletic fields by Rettler to prioritize up to $4.44 million in field work. Design and budgeting are still being shaped ahead of an August 10, 2026 board resolution and referendum communications.
McFarland is creating Tax Increment District #7 to relocate and expand Bliffert Lumber from downtown to a new rail-served small business park at Elvehjem Road and CTH AB, plus add nearby residential. The draft project plan outlines major public costs: a new rail spur, road construction, utility extensions, and site work, with development incentives and land acquisition. Specific projects and contracts will be approved later, so vendors in rail, civil, utilities, site design, and development finance can still shape scope, phasing, and funding approaches.
The Village is advancing creation of Tax Increment District #7 at Elvehjem Road and CTH AB to support a new business park, rail spur, and medium‑density housing tied to the potential relocation and expansion of Bliffert Lumber. A detailed draft project plan shows about $9.4 million in eligible TID costs for roads, utilities, rail, land acquisition, and incentives, with major expenses expected starting in 2027 and a TID life to 2047. No specific construction or professional services contracts are approved yet, so infrastructure, rail design, land services, and development consulting vendors can still shape scopes and funding strategies.
The Towns engineer, Vierbicher, outlined 2026 surveying and conceptual engineering for Pioneer Road reconditioning between Valley View Road and Old Sauk Road. The letter defines lane/shoulder cross-section, drainage fixes, driveway connections, trail segments, and needed permits, plus an intergovernmental cost-share with the City of Madison. No construction contractor is chosen yet, so civil, paving, traffic, utility, and trail vendors can start positioning around upcoming design completion, permitting, and bid packaging.
The Village is issuing $2,605,000 in General Obligation Promissory Notes to finance 2026 capital projects and stormwater work. The bond sale was competitively bid on July 14, 2026, with Brownstone Investment Group winning at a true interest cost of about 3.66%, and funds will support $1,495,000 in general capital and $1,110,000 in stormwater projects. This locks in financing for a multi-project 2026 program, creating downstream opportunities for design, construction, equipment, and implementation vendors tied to those funded line items.
Administration recommends contracting with Rettler to evaluate high school athletic field conditions, facilities, guest accommodations, and ADA accessibility, with a total athletic field budget of up to $4.44 million to be set based on this report. Rettler has previously analyzed multiple district athletic fields, suggesting they are the preferred consultant for this study. With design assessment decided but project list still open, future construction, turf, lighting, and accessibility work will follow from Rettler’s recommendations.
Madison is amending its 2026 Sewer Utility Capital Budget and awarding Public Works Contract 9807 for the Fordem Avenue–First Street Relief Sanitary Sewer project, with Speedway Sand & Gravel, Inc. as low bidder at about $2.08 million plus contingency. The City is transferring $1.7 million in sewer revenue bond and reserve authority from other projects to fully fund this sewer upgrade. While the main construction award is set, related opportunities exist for traffic control, materials supply, inspection support, and future sewer access projects whose budgets were shifted.
