WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) â An update was given regarding redistricting in one Central Wisconsin county.
Thursday afternoon Marathon Countyâs Redistricting Committee met briefly to hear about the proposed condensed timetable for the redistricting process that occurs every 10 years after the census is taken. The redistricting process using 2020âs Census data will be different from prior censusâs as the day census numbers needed to be delivered to the President was pushed back to April 30th.
At this time, the state expects to get census data from the federal Census Bureau in mid-August as opposed to the traditional April 1st date. Because of that schedule change at the federal level, the Committee heard from Andy Faust of the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission about the new timeline for redistricting.

MENASHA, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Two Northeast Wisconsin transit services are seeking input from riders who use Interstate 41 for travel.
Go Transit of Oshkosh and Valley Transit are teaming up with UW-Oshkosh and East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission to offer a survey for those who use the interstate to commute between Oshkosh and the Fox Cities.
The purpose of the survey is to better understand the needs of riders in the Fox Valley. Both transit systems are considering new services and expand amenities for a convenient ride, according to a news release.
“Many residents travel the I-41 corridor daily. These travelers need and want to travel between communities; therefore, it’s increasingly important we find transportation alternatives to personal automobiles,” said Jim Collins, Transportation Director for the City of Oshkosh, in the release.
