Fitchburg, WI is recognized as one of the fastest growing communities in the State and also one of the most diverse in Dane County.  To meet the needs of an expanding population Fitchburg is faced with new staffing and infrastructure demands.  Joe Maldonado, Fitchburg City Council member, is interviewed on the Thursday edition of the 8 O’Clock Buzz to discuss some of these issues, and specifically to talk about plans for a new police department facility that is one of the hot topics on the Council’s agenda.  The price tag has gone up on this project by about 30% which is straining the City’s budget, and questions are being asked about fast tracking an expensive project like this for the mid-size community.
