State Grant Moves Glarner Community Complex Forward

The Swiss Center of North America, in partnership with the New Glarus School District, has been awarded a $108,000 state grant to help advance Phase 2 of the New Glarus Glarner Community Complex.

The grant, awarded through the Wisconsin Department of Administration’s Non-State Grant Program, will support the next phase of work at the Community Complex, across from New Glarus High School. The award was announced May 8 by Gov. Tony Evers and received final approval from the Wisconsin State Building Commission on May 13.

Phase 2 calls for construction of a Swiss-inspired pavilion, public plaza, modern restrooms and food service facilities. The work will build on Phase 1, which included a track and multi-use athletic field completed in 2024.
