There are lots of big projects happening around the city. Here is a shout out to the quiet ones.
Our Electric and Streets/Parks Departments have been busy installing streetlights, planting trees, maintaining trails, and honoring holidays.
Thank you to these departments for their work everyday out in the community.







Melrose City Center will be closed Wednesday, June 19th 2024 for Juneteenth. Thank you!


The 4-way stop by NAPA and Melrose Dental will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday this week (June 11th and 12th) as crews grade the intersection and re-pave it. We want to restore this intersection to ease travel. Thank you for your patience as we work through the Main Street project.


The cement is drying, but construction is complete on this amazing addition to our Sauk River Park. A huge thank you to the Melrose Lions for their contribution of this new playground. They donated the equipment and their members worked with the city staff on the installation over the last few days.





Please come join us!


This week the Farmers Market kicks off on Wednesday, June 5th, 2024 from 3 PM to 6 PM.

See you there!
