Civil Municipal - May 2024

VALUED PARTNERS AND COLLABORATIONS The Verona Area School District collaborates closely with Findorff Construction, who Wiese describes as “the gold standard of general contractors as far as K-12 institutions in southern Wisconsin,” as well as EUA Architects, designers of the district’s new state-of-the-art high school.“We get visitors almost weekly if not every month that are doing building remodels or looking to build a new facility, who come and tour our high school to take a look at many of the design features that they put into that building,” he boasts. Furthermore, the district works to foster strong relationships with local entities to ensure a thriving and supportive environment for all residents.“We’re proud of the partnerships we’ve got with the city of Fitchburg, and the city of Verona in terms of strong connections with both their city administration and their Chambers of Commerce, in addition to constant coordination with their first responders, in particular the fire and police departments in both communities,” maintains Wiese.
