Boscobel has 500 new residents on the way, each worth $28 to the
small southwestern Wisconsin city.
Inmates at a super-maximum-security state prison planned for
Boscobel will be counted as residents of the Grant County community,
raising its state aid by at least $14,000.
That will pay for garbage pickup for a year for the 425-person
Town of Boscobel, which sold the land the prison sits on to the city
in exchange for the cash.
"It sounds like small potatoes to a big township or a city, but
it's pretty good potatoes to us," Town Chairman Kenneth Peckham
said.
