Good morning, Oshkosh.

Oshkosh has experienced many community changes this summer as workers continued renovations at the former Merrill school on New York Avenue and Central Street and installed new signage at the Public Museum.

Nearby, improvements at Menominee Park Zoo and plans for a new MillCity Church location add to local updates — with trees starting to show fall colors.

Wisconsin law prohibits drivers from using a cell phone for texting or emailing at red lights, allowing only hands-free use and banning any phone use for drivers with restricted licenses.

The state DOT reported 9,261 distracted driving crashes and 23 fatalities in 2023—warning all drivers to stay focused on the road.

More than 2,000 commercial properties in Oshkosh got new assessments after a revaluation raised their values by 22% from an earlier undervaluation that used 85% of market price—this update added $350 million to the city's tax base and may lead to adjustments in the upcoming budget's mill rate. City officials stress that while the revaluation resets market conditions, it does not directly change tax collections.
