NEW KNOXVILLE – The New Knoxville Council accepted a donation that will pay for a newly-designed village park during its meeting Wednesday night, April 14.
Village Administrator Larry Kellermeyer said the $10,500 donation from New Bremen/New Knoxville Rotary Club will pay for most of the work on the former garden club site across from the village administrative offices on South Main Street. The Rotary donation represents 75% of the expected cost, with the village supplying the other 25% of the cost.
He said earlier this year, his crews came to him and requested somehow raising funds to update the area now that the garden club had disbanded.

NEW KNOXVILLE – The planned 2021 reconstruction of Bremen Street was moved forward when the New Knoxville Council approved a storm sewer reconstruction contract at their meeting Wednesday night.
Tom’s Construction Inc. was awarded $198,518 contract to replace the storm sewers along Bremen Street sometime in the spring of 2021.
Village Administrator Larry Kellermeyer told council that he was working with Choice One Engineering to coordinate this storm sewer construction project with the planned widening and repaving of this section of Bremen Street in 2021.
Also, he said village crews would be burying electrical lines along the north side of the street around that time so that poles can removed. He added NKTelco had already buried their lines in that location.
