Significance to the region: People living in the Oconomowoc Area School District voted resoundingly to pass a referendum calling for the construction of a new elementary school and perform maintenance and add space to the district’s other schools. The new 112,000-square-foot Meadow View Elementary School will be big enough for 675 students and have open classrooms with moveable glass walls, administration spaces and a cafeteria.
