You cannot get much busier with capital projects in the first few months of a new job than Kewaunee County Administrator Jeremy Kral. The former Brown County Health and Human Services Executive Director was appointed to the role in February as he took over for Scott Feldt. In the nearly six months since, Kral has had to dive into the county's biggest projects, including the jail, highway shop, and broadband expansion. Kral says he dove into the history of the projects so he could best determine what steps he could take.

While the jail project has dominated the headlines, Kral says the highway shop project also presents the county with many aspects to consider moving forward. He believes the highway shop project will be more straightforward than the discussions around the jail.

At the last Kewaunee County Board meeting, the decision to hire an owner's representative for the jail project was tabled until August to allow supervisors an opportunity for supervisors to review the contract.
