📰 News we're reading
• DeForest, Cottage Grove among consistently high-growth communities (gazettextra.com) — Cottage Grove’s rapid growth is reshaping the village’s tax base, with a huge Amazon distribution center driving a 28% jump in net new construction that influences how much the village can spend on services. Local officials explain how steady development, available land, and infrastructure planning help manage levy limits, while signaling that 2027’s construction pace likely won’t match this year’s record.
