The RAISE grant was fully approved by the Department of Transportation for much-needed road improvement projects given prospected traffic impacts of a future casino and resort.

“As we developed the plans for our project with Beloit, we saw the need for safe and efficient roads around Willowbrook and Colley,” says Karena Thundercloud, Vice President of the Ho-Chunk Nation. “The RAISE grant helps the Ho-Chunk Nation and Beloit offer safe routes for our community and visitors, whether by car, bus, or bicycle.”
