Signs of growth in Clintonville
Two major development projects in Clintonville are underway, as a new Kwik Trip store construction and the reconstruction of N. Main St./State Hwy. 22 are in their beginning stages.
Kwik Trip
Fences recently went up around the old Klein Auto, Video Galaxy, and Brick Oven facilities. Two houses next to the old Klein facility are also to be torn down. The demolition, which will be done by Robinson Brothers and is scheduled to begin the week of Feb. 20, will make room for a new Kwik Trip property, complete with gasoline and diesel fuels, a convenience store and car wash.
Construction on the new Kwik Trip is scheduled for this spring, and is expected to be completed by fall. Kwik Trip is already making investments in the Clintonville community, as they recently donated $500 to the Main Street flower basket fund.
N. Main St./State Hwy. 22 reconstruction
Soil testing is being completed in preparation for the reconstruction of N. Main St./State Hwy. 22. The city has signed a contract for engineering the replacement of the bridge on Main St. and reconstruction of the road from the bridge to State Hwy. 156. Reconstruction of the highway from the bridge to 13th St. will be done in 2014, while a schedule for the reconstruction of the road from 13th St. to State Hwy. 156 has not yet been released.
According to City Administrator Lisa Kuss, the city will pay 25 percent of the engineering costs for the bridge (an estimated $38,000). The city also will pay 25 percent of the engineering costs for the road north of the bridge (an estimated $111,000).
The city will also have to discuss the issue of parking on N. Main St. If the road is reconstructed as it is currently, with room for parking on both sides of the street, the city will likely pay for the cost of having the parking area. If the city doesn't allow parking on N. Main, the state will pay almost 100 percent of the construction costs. The city will pay 20 percent of all sidewalk reconstruction costs.
An estimated cost for the replacement of the bridge is $1.3 million, while the cost to reconstruct the road is estimated at $5.2 million.
The city will also pay 100 percent of the costs to replace water and sewer infrastructure on N. Main St. Kuss did not have an estimate for the cost to replace ¾-mile of water and sewer components.

You can't be serious. Kwik Trip spends $500 a day on toilet paper.
So, to summarize, the signs of growth are:
1) Two houses town down
2) Another Kwik Trip shrine to $4 gas and $10 car washes
3) Soil testing
4) Repaired bridge
5) New pavement, same old street
And, all this for only $6.6MIL in tax dollars. Who knows what Kwik Trip spends on a new burrito heater.
