Grant County has partnered with CivicPlus to implement NextRequest, a web-based system that simplifies how residents submit and track public records requests, according to May 8, 2025 news items in both the Fennimore Times and the Grant County Herald Independent in Lancaster.
According to both stories, the platform allows residents to submit requests, monitor progress, and access public records online. Staff benefit from streamlined workflows, improved collaboration, and better resource management— especially during peak demand.
“With NextRequest, we’re making it easier for the public to access information while helping our staff manage requests more efficiently,” Nate Dreckman, Grant County Administrator, is quoted in both stories. “This is an important step toward strengthening trust and transparency in local government.”
The NextRequest portal will be located on the home page of the county’s website, located at: www.co.grant.wi.gov
