Local government

Plan Commission public hearing (virtual): A Town of Wilson Plan Commission public hearing is scheduled for Monday, March 9, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. for a conditional use permit request for a coffee shop with light food service at Caan’s, 4422 South 12th Street (parcel 59030452290). The notice includes Zoom connection details, plus options for submitting written comments to the Town Clerk ahead of the hearing.

Road work & travel

I-43 resurfacing (Town of Wilson to Town of Sheboygan): A major WisDOT project is slated to begin March 2, 2026 on 10 miles of I-43 from Wilson/Lima Road (Town of Wilson) to WIS 42 (Town of Sheboygan). Drivers should expect single-lane traffic in portions of the work zone and periodic ramp closures over the course of the project, with work expected to run into late October 2026. If you commute north/south for work, school, or appointments, it’s worth checking the project page regularly for ramp-closure timing.

Schools

Sheboygan Area School District (SASD): SASD notes it serves Sheboygan, the Town of Sheboygan, and the Town of Wilson. The district has a Public Input Session on March 10, 2026 tied to the sale and future development of district-owned land at the former Washington Elementary School site in the City of Sheboygan (south of Bell Avenue and east of North 13th Street). Families and residents who want to weigh in can review the district’s posted background and proposals, then watch for the Board of Education agenda details for the March 10 meeting.

Public safety & weather

Snow and travel conditions: Local reporting (citing National Weather Service forecast guidance) flagged the potential for 2 to 4 inches of snow in Sheboygan County on Saturday, with the highest-impact window described as late morning into early afternoon and the possibility of reduced visibility and slippery roads. With I-43 work beginning Monday and typical weekend traffic to Sheboygan and nearby communities, plan extra time and keep an eye on any advisories that may be issued.
