Members of the Shawano County Public Property Committee voted Feb. 12 to begin the process of foreclosing on five parcels after owners refusal to pay back taxes and special assessments.

There are two lots on Ebert Street in Gresham, one on Red Lake Court in Gresham, one on Fourth Street in Mattoon and one on Mission Street in Wittenberg.

The recreated Shawano Recreation Center is still months from being open to the public, but plans are in the works to give the community a chance to contribute to its beauty. Interested residents can also take a sneak peek at what’s been completed so far in the year-long project that started in June 2025.
