The donation from the chamber was made possible through their various fundraising activities throughout the year including the Cheese Curd Festival and the Salute to Education Luncheon. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation awarded the district a $25,000 grant in April.
Phase 1 of the FabLab expansion will be complete by March 2018. Phase 2, with a targeted completion date of January 2019, will include the purchase of a larger laser engraver, a 3-D printer and a CNC milling machine.
