On Tuesday, August 4, 2009, the Greendale Health Department will be giving away free digital thermometers to families and individuals who do not already have one. There is a limited supply for families in need, and the thermometers will be given out on a first come first served basis starting at 9 am. Instructions will be given with the thermometers. A public health nurse will be available to answer your questions.

The Greendale Health Department is located at 5650 Parking Street, Greendale, WI 53129 (Click here for map and directions).

The Village of Greendale has two projects in the planning stages as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. 

West College Ave will be reconstructed from Loomis Rd. to S. 51st St. Highlights of this project will include new pavement, curbing in select areas, stormwater conveyance and storage improvements,  a bicycle lane and grade corrections.

The other project involves the reconstruction of S. 51st St. from Grange Ave. to Loomis Rd. with the same type of improvements. 

Both these projects will be significantly financed by the Federal Government with additional funding provided through cooperative agreements between Greenfield, Greendale and Milwaukee County.

Work is in the design stage now and will be put out to bid in the Spring of 2010. Construction will begin shortly after that. Please watch for updates as more information becomes available.
