Slinger's future involves community campus

The Village of Slinger has a lot going on and a lot to look forward to in the future.

2025 continued to see new businesses open. 

This year, it will be even more exciting with the expected completion of the new police station, which will then allow them to begin the remodeling of the library and Slinger Village Hall. Additionally, construction of the new "Reiser Center," which will be a public gathering space bridging the two buildings and funded by private donations.

When completed in 2027, their reimagined Village Campus will be the place to go to meet, share and learn.

Village of Slinger President Scott Stortz told WTKM about some of the growth.

"We are happy with the growth, our population is just shy of six thousand seven hundred and our residential growth has increased by more than twenty-six percent in the last ten years. Percentage wise, the Village of Slinger continues to be the fastest growing community in Washington County. Our net new construction last year was healthy and manageable." 

The Slinger Village Board approved an architectural design agreement with Plunkett Raysich Architects, setting plans in motion to remodel the existing Village Hall and Library buildings. These updates will include construction of the new Slinger Center. When complete, the Slinger Library and Village Hall will be connected through the Slinger Center which will feature flexible space with rooms for everything from civic events and business meetings to community programs.
