RIB MOUNTAIN, WI (WSAU) — Now that the switch from a town to a village is complete, Rib Mountain residents can help select the community’s new welcome signs.
Administrator Gaylene Rhoden says leaders have a handful of designs to choose from, and they want to know which one their residents like best through an informal straw poll. “We will be updating those and we’d like the resident’s feedback. You can stick a sticker by the design you are interested in seeing- not only for the entrance signs but for the park signs.”
Rhoden says the handful of suggestions came from a recent request for proposals process, similar to what was implemented for the redesigned Village logo.
Of course, this all stems from the community’s incorporation into a Village in 2023. The Marathon County Highway Department recently posted official signage at the Village boundaries on Interstate 39/US 51 south of town and along Wisconsin 29 to the east, which was a proud moment for Rhoden. “When you see those green signs along the highway, you know you’ve hit incorporation. Yes, [that day] has finally come,” she told WSAU News last week.

In a way, Rhoden says they are asking for everybody’s vote twice. The sign and stickers are located inside the village hall where in-person, absentee voting is underway. Tht’s also where residents can pick up a blue sticker that says “VILLAGE” to put over the word “TOWN” on their six-digit street address sign. That area also includes other information that Village Staff would like to share with residents because election time may be one of the only times they make a trip to Village Hall. “As people are walking through that’s the time that they have to ask questions or interact with staff.”
