Good morning, Janesville.

United Way Blackhawk Region has renewed a two-year $286,000 grant for the Boys & Girls Club of Janesville as it prepares to move to a new facility — the funding will support the club's programs and services.

Rock County will continue funding local nonprofit organizations in the upcoming 2026 budget—some locals say the decision is controversial.

County officials plan to use the funds to support important community programs.

Attorney General Josh Kaul and a coalition of states secured a court order to block a DOE policy that would have reduced Wisconsin's energy program funding from nearly $370,000 to $130,000—protecting federal funds that help residents save energy and improve program resilience.
