Mauer: County bridges in desperate need of repair

Published by admin on Fri, 09/13/2019 - 8:39am

    GRUNDY COUNTY — Grundy County Engineer Gary Mauer does not mince words when it comes to the condition of the county’s 325 bridges. They need work, and they need it now.
    Mauer estimated that the average age of Grundy County’s bridges is around 50 years old, which is at the long end of their expected 40- to 50-year life cycle. And with tight funding, money to replace the bridges is getting harder and harder to find.
    “We need more revenue,” he said. “That would be generated through road use tax, which would mean a gas tax increase.”

Students turn old desks into decor

    GRUNDY CENTER — Like anything else, classroom desks age. Eventually they age to the point where they are replaced. A group of those desks has earned new life thanks to a pair of resourceful Grundy Center High School teachers and their students.
    Late last summer, as teachers were preparing to welcome students back to class, High School Principal Ann Lebo approached business teacher Andy McQuillen and art teacher Ronda Sternhagen asking if they had any interest in working together to find a use for some of the desks the school was throwing away.
