Good morning, Waukesha.

Costco has applied to build on 23 acres of vacant land at Pabst Farms in Oconomowoc and officials received the application on April 17.

Local residents are split on the proposal—some appreciate the added convenience while others worry about more development, and no timeline for construction has been set.

Father Greg Geiten, a Waukesha County priest, said Pope Francis’s message—'Who am I to judge?'—gave him the strength to come out as gay after years of hiding and he now continues his ministry while moving to a parish closer to his Oconomowoc home.

Waukesha County reopened part of its courthouse on April 21st after it was closed for 18 months for renovations—ongoing work continues on other sections.

Three companies in cities linked to Waukesha County received FDA inspections in the first quarter of 2025, marking a 200% increase from the previous quarter.

Two inspections were for device companies and one for a drug company—reports note that one company was advised to make voluntary management changes.
