Boys & Girls Club of Janesville Breaks Ground on New Facility

Exciting changes are underway for the Boys & Girls Club of Janesville as construction on its long-awaited new facility officially begins. With the first stages of building already in progress, the Club is looking ahead to a grand opening in September 2026—a milestone that will mark a major leap forward for local youth programming.The groundbreaking ceremony, held recently at 925 South Jackson Street, drew an enthusiastic crowd of about 200 community members, donors, and leaders. The celebration was highlighted by remarks from Wisconsin Department of Administration Secretary Kathy Blumenfeld, Club CEO Rebecca Veium, Board President, and even a current Club member—each sharing how this project represents far more than a new building. This isn’t just about bricks and beams—it’s about building opportunity, hope, and a brighter future for young people in Rock County.Once complete, the new facility will triple the number of youth ages 6–18 that the Club can serve each year. That means expanded access to academic support, enrichment programs, mentorship, and safe spaces for kids and teens who need it most.The project is ambitious, and fundraising efforts are still underway. As of now, $10.2 million has been raised toward the Club’s $12 million goal, and the team continues to work tirelessly to close the gap.A recent feature by the Janesville Gazette offers a deeper look into the vision for the space and what it will mean for the community. You can read that full article here.As construction progresses over the next 12 to 14 months, the Club will be sharing regular updates and continuing to invite support from the community.For those interested in being a part of this transformative project—whether through donations, volunteerism, or partnership—there’s still time to get involved. This new chapter is being built by many hands, and every contribution helps shape a better future for the youth of Janesville.Pictures by KARYN SAEMANN/KARYN.SAEMANN@APG-SW.COM

CMRC Gives Green Light to JP Cullen to Begin Construction

Children’s Museum of Rock County Gives Green Light to JP Cullen to Begin ConstructionIt’s official: construction is about to begin on one of the most anticipated community projects in Rock County. The Children’s Museum of Rock County (CMRC) announced today that it has given the green light to JP Cullen to begin construction on its future home in downtown Janesville.The CMRC Board of Directors has voted to move forward with the building phase, instructing JP Cullen to begin work shortly after June 23, 2025. This milestone marks a significant leap forward for the museum’s vision, just days after hiring new executive director Kent Anderson and launching a $500,000 Transform Tomorrow matching campaign.Executive Director Kent Anderson“We know this is the news everyone has been waiting for,” said John Westphal, President of the CMRC Board. “Our board recognized we had a fiscal responsibility to our donors and we have been waiting until we felt we had met those obligations before giving Cullen the okay. When the numbers came in last week, we had the confidence that now is the time.”$14.5 Million Vision Becoming RealityWith the most recent bids now finalized, the Board felt confident the timing was right to start the next chapter. If the current matching campaign is successful, the organization expects to reach a remarkable $14.5 million in funds raised—enough to complete construction and purchase interactive, high-quality exhibits for children of all ages.“It is a privilege to be able to step into this role and see this amazing project start to come to life,” added Kent Anderson, CMRC’s new Executive Director. “The Board has put in so much work to get the project where it is today and we are all excited to make this project a reality.”Groundbreaking Coming SoonA formal groundbreaking ceremony is in the works, with an official date expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Community members, partners, and donors will be invited to help kick off construction on a space that promises to transform play, learning, and family time in Rock County.The museum has been a long-term passion project for the board, and the commitment shown by donors, community members, and regional partners has helped push the dream closer to reality.Want to Support the Vision?Donations are still being accepted to support the museum’s capital campaign.
