December 10, 2024 – Hartford, Wi – Hartford Mayor Timothy C. Michalak filed non-candidacy papers this week which means he will not be running for another term in office.
Michalak has been mayor of Hartford, Wi, since 2016. Prior to that, Michalak was first elected alderman in Hartford in 2009.
Tom Hostad is Executive Director at Hartford Area Development Corporation. He praised Michalak for overseeing development along the STH 60 corridor and the downtown.
“Tim was always supportive of economic development,” said Hostad “Whether it’s the downtown revitalization or the development on the Highway 60 strip with Festival Foods and Culvers… he’s always been proactive in terms of drumming up council support.
“He has been a strong and consistent advocate for lower taxes and most of the recent budgets have involved no tax increases for the neighbors in Hartford. As a county supervisor he always represented Hartford’s best interest.”
Calls have been placed to Michalak for comment.
An announcement is expected to be made at tonight’s Hartford common council meeting which starts at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall, 109 N. Main Street, lower level. Enter via the Johnson Street parking lot on the west side of City Hall.
This is a working story, and more information will be posted when details are available.
