Statement of Support for St. Croix Health Center: The Board of the Town of Richmond strongly supports the retention of the St. Croix Health Center.   It has been suggested that closure of SCHC can be used to offset other projects, e.g. highway department building and jail expansion.  These and other projects should be able to stand on their own merit and if not, they should be resized or dropped rather than shifting monies from other funds. The aging of our population is well documented.  The SCHC provides high quality services for the aging along with other care.  Services and care that we all hope not to need but are reassured that should the need arise, quality care is available.   “There but for the grace of God, go I”  The Board for the Town of Richmond, urges the St. Croix County Board to dismiss consideration of the sale of the St. Croix Health Center.

Impact Fee Increase Proposed

The Town of Richmond Board will consider an increase to Impact Fees following a public hearing on Thursday, October 10, 2024 at 6 pm. The proposed increase is based on a Needs Assessment conducted in the fall of 2023 by the Town Engineer, Stevens Engineering. Impact Fees are currently $2,000 for a single family home at the time the building permit is obtained, and are used for town road reconstruction. The maximum fee, based on the Needs Assessment, is $3,484 but could be set to a lower amount by the Board. Impact Fees are assessed to new construction only, they are not assessed to additions, remodels, decks, garages, etc.
A sample ordinance is available HERE.
