A developer wants to build more than 100 homes here, a community of about 800 in northern Dane County just south of Lodi.
The Dane Lumber and Home Center, one of the village’s chief businesses, has rebuilt since a 2001 fire caused more than $800,000 in damage. A school attached to the prominent St. Michael Catholic Church has a new principal, the church a new priest. Still, the changing community is marked this week by a dark anniversary. Five years ago Tuesday, the Rev. Alfred Kunz — a fixture at the church for more than 30 years — was found murdered in a hallway at the school attached to St. Michael.
