Town of Holland, Weekly: I-43 Work Underway, School Board Meets
It’s been a steady week for Town of Holland residents, with major highway work underway, school board activity in Oostburg, and new county budget figures that affect the town’s bottom line.
I-43 Construction Impacting Local Travel
A $21 million Wisconsin Department of Transportation project is now underway on I-43 in Sheboygan County, including the stretch from Wilson/Lima Road north to WIS 42. Work began March 2 and is expected to continue through fall.
The project includes resurfacing more than 10 miles of interstate and maintenance on nine bridges. Drivers should expect reduced lanes in both directions and periodic ramp closures. For Town of Holland residents who commute toward Sheboygan, Kohler, or Manitowoc, travel times may vary throughout the spring and summer.
With fluctuating temperatures and occasional mixed precipitation in the forecast this weekend, officials continue to recommend checking 511WI before heading out, especially during early morning or evening travel.
Oostburg School Board Meets March 19
The Oostburg School District, which serves the Village of Oostburg and the Town of Holland, held its regularly scheduled school board meeting on March 19 as part of its 2025–26 calendar.
While the full agenda included routine governance and operational updates, March meetings typically focus on spring planning, staffing considerations, and budget trajectory heading into the final quarter of the fiscal year. Residents can review board materials and meeting outcomes through district postings.
Families should also note that area schools are approaching spring break at the end of the month, which may affect traffic patterns and community programming schedules.
County Revenue Sharing Boosts Holland Allocation
Sheboygan County’s 2026 budget documents show an increase in sales tax revenue sharing for the Town of Holland. The town’s allocation rises to $87,242 for the 2026 budget year, up from $76,129 the previous year.
Revenue sharing funds help support general town operations such as road maintenance, public safety coordination, and administrative services. While modest in scale, the increase provides additional flexibility as municipalities manage rising infrastructure and service costs.
Looking Ahead
Residents should continue monitoring interstate construction updates and upcoming town or county meeting notices as spring infrastructure and planning activity ramps up. With seasonal road weight limits and weather-related wear still a factor, town officials are expected to remain focused on roadway conditions in the weeks ahead.
