The Kiwanis Club also plans to present a ceremonial check to the Grand Chute K-9 project at next Tuesday's Town Board meeting at 7:00 PM on December 7th.  You are invited to attend both events!

Convention Center meeting December 2nd

The Convention Center Community Coalition will be making a public presentation of their report at 7:30 AM on Thursday, December 2nd at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in teh Kimberly-Clark Theater. The Coalition's goal was to provide a focused approach for the Fox Cities Communities to be able to make a decision on whether to pursue development of a convention center.

It is anticipated that since a majority of the room tax dollars are generated from Grand Chute, our hotel association is going to provide important input in regards to whether they think this proposed project will benefit their particular establishments. The Grand Chute Town Staff anticipates hosting a forum for the Grand Chute Hotel Association to provide input to the Town Board sometime after the initial public presentation in Appleton.
