COMMUNITIES ALTONA The Town of Altona was founded in 1865, predating Garrett by 10 years. Altona was not incorporated as a town until June of 1906.

Its roots go back to a sawmill and lumber business and the building of the railroad. It was named for a town in Germany that many of its early residents once called home.

Altona town leaders laid out an extensive improvement plan for 2014 at their January meeting, including creation of a website and Facebook page.

The board will seek three quotes to purchase and install a garage door opener for the town hall, which houses a one-ton pickup truck and snow plow used to clean streets.

Repairs and improvements to the Town Hall constructed from a residence in the building that formerly served as the Altona Fire Department, include new doors and windows, insulation and removal of barn doors at the back of the building that once allowed access to fire protection vehicles.

The town implemented an unsafe building ordinance in 2013 and plans to consider measures on open burning and guidelines for yard and garage sales in the coming year.

Plans to install a horseshoe pit at the south end of a parking lot across from Town Hall are also in the works for 2014.
