Tuesday, April 28th, 2026 -- 8:01 AM

The City of Marshfield has been notified that it may receive a partial grant award of $800,000 through the Wisconsin Department of Administration’s Non-State Grant program to support the Police Department Relocation Project.

The City submitted a grant application in October 2025 requesting $2 million for the project. The application was prepared through a coordinated effort involving the Police Department, Planning, Finance, and Parks and Recreation.

On April 24, 2026, the Wisconsin Department of Administration informed the City that a partial award of $800,000 may be available. The Department of Administration requested confirmation that the project can move forward with the partial award. City staff from Engineering, Police, Planning, and Finance reviewed the information and agreed that the additional funding would allow the project to proceed.

If approved by the Common Council, the project will be placed on the State Building Commission agenda for consideration at its next meeting, expected in May 2026. The Common Council will consider accepting the partial grant award at its April 28, 2026, meeting.
