The Shawano Common Council signed off on a development agreement Sept. 9 that will allow a new entertainment venue to take over the site where a long vacant building has been at 205 N. Main St.

A new Shawano County Courthouse is still a couple of years away from opening, but discussions are now taking place regarding the veterans memorial that currently rests on the front lawn of the courthouse.

Plans as they are drawn up now will turn the site of the current building and memorial into a parking lot.

When Keith Marquardt, director of the Shawano County parks department, needs official approval for anything, he goes to the highway and parks committee. That could soon change.

Supervisor Al Kuhn, a member of the highway and parks committee, recently brought up the idea of moving oversight of the parks department to the public property committee. Kuhn is also a member of that committee.
