What Makes Brokaw Unique?

• 2002 - Village purchases and annexes 52 acres of Lemke farm for residential subdivision on west side of river, now called River Ridge Subdivision.
• 2003 - Village celebrates centennial. Three new businesses added to Business Park.
• 2004 - New homes being built in River Ridge.
• 2006 - New homes and businesses plus Army Reserve Center.
• $1,000,000 federal grant - was awarded to the village in 2002, through the efforts of U. S. Representative David R. Obey, representing Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District.
  Without the determination and inspired thinking of a dedicated group of village officials and the timely grant, Brokaw would have ceased to exist early in this new century. Now Brokaw is Rising by the River.
• Purchased 52 acres of farm land - located across the Wisconsin River and west of Hi way 51 (formally the Lemke farm) for a residential subdivision. Adjacent to the North Side Business Park this land was subdivided into 86 residential lots with spectacular views of the valley and the bluffs surrounding old Brokaw. Single family home and apartment buildings have been going up in the new subdivision as old homes continue to be torn down in old Brokaw.
