RE: Weekly Newsletter
1. “HOME” BASE: On June 1, 2025, the Oshkosh Police Department officially opened the
homeless outreach center at 101 Algoma Blvd, which has been officially named HOME
Base, for Homeless Outreach Mental Empowerment. We have moved our Behavioral
Health Team to HOME Base, along with the sergeant managing the efforts to help the
homeless population here in Oshkosh. They have already seen success with members of
our community visiting our officers, business members stopping in and thanking the
officers for being there. This is the beginning of a concerted effort to begin to affect change
for the good for those in need here in the City of Oshkosh.
2. START OF CONSTRUCTION FOR CENTRAL STREET RECONSTRUCTION:
Construction on the Central Street reconstruction projects is beginning with the general
contractor Dorner, Inc. (Dorner). Dorner plans to begin installing temporary water main
the week of June 16th and begin construction the week of June 23rd. Advanced warning
signs have been placed seven days prior to the start of construction.
The purpose of this project is to reconstruct Central Street from West New York Avenue to
West Bent Avenue. Sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer, and corresponding laterals
will be installed, replaced, or repaired, as needed, and electrical work will be completed
prior to placing new concrete pavement, sidewalks, driveway aprons, and landscaping. All
of the work is weather dependent.
The substantial completion date for this Project is October 24th.
