Attorney Edward Ritger explained the documents created to join the Eastern Wisconsin Railroad Consortium would allow the County to withdraw in the future. Costs of county assessments have been between $12,000 and $15,000 per year. These funds are used to fund improvements. Maintenance is the responsibility of the rail operator. Improvements are funded 80% by the state, 10% by the operator, and 10% by the consortium.
