Syracuse, N.Y. – Katie Rosenberg is essentially trapped in her Fabius home until she can get the Covid-19 vaccine.
The 31-year-old, who lives with her parents, was born with a cyst on her brain. She is developmentally disabled, has a seizure disorder and trouble swallowing.
Intellectually, Katie “is stuck between 18 months and 5 years,” says her mother, Jennifer Rosenberg. Katie does not understand why it’s important to wear a mask or practice social distancing. For all those reasons, she is at high risk of getting Covid-19 and suffering severe complications from the virus.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) New single-family homes could be coming to downtown Wausau in the next year.
Tuesday night Wausau’s Economic Development Committee considered a proposal received for the Thomas Street Phase 2 Remant Parcel RFP put out in October of 2020. The RFP only received one proposal that came from Tyler Knudson Construction LLC to buy the 6 lots offered in the RFP for $7,500 each – a total of $45,000 – and constructing six single-family homes.
The proposal has two different styles of homes that all have two stories, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an attached 2-car garage within 1,400 square feet. The homes would sell for a price between $200,000 – $240,000 once construction is completed. Construction is expected to begin in May of 2021 and be completed in three phases each phase consisting of two homes at a time ending in May of 2022.
