After the culverts are replaced, the road will be open with flagmen for the duration of the project. ● Broadband: Waupaca Online is upgrading the speed of their jumper towers. If the Brightspeed grant is approved, every resident in Caledonia should have high speed internet by the end of 2026.

We will continue to have it ground up moving forwards instead of burning it. Dump site was graded and returned to good condition. Residents can NOT use this site - the New London yard waste site is where residents would take yard waste and wood. ● Sinkhole reappeared near parking lot. County will be repairing. ● Attendance at MDR Lions Chicken BBQ was good. ● Caledonia Fest: This year may be the final year of the parade.
