Hello, I hope you are all enjoying your week so far! The year feels like it has flown by. Our kids headed back to school last week, and before you know it we’ll get our first snow fall.
This week, I want to bring to your attention to important updates on the I-41 expansion project between Appleton and De Pere. Click here to learn more about the I-41 project. Click here to learn more about other construction projects throughout Wisconsin.

As fall is right around the corner, I want to highlight the Fall Color Report from Travel Wisonsin. This interactive map helps identify when the leaves will be changing color throughout Wisconsin. The predicted peak color forecast for Appleton and Waupaca is the third week of October, while Oshkosh is a week later. Check it out!
Lastly, as you may have heard, Wisconsin has elections coming up this November! You can find what’s on your ballot, how to find out when and where to vote, and more at MyVote.wi.gov.
