The City of Milton is leading the rest of the county in growth.
Each year, the Wisconsin Department of Revenue releases its Net New Construction Report, which shows the amount of net new construction in communities across the state, grouped by county. The numbers reflect commercial and residential growth minus demolition.
Milton’s 2.54% increase in net new construction topped all other cities in Rock County. By comparison, Janesville grew by 1.71%, and Beloit saw 1.23% growth.
Milton City Administrator Al Hulick said the numbers are a testament to people wanting to be part of the community.
