Grapevine

The Village of Brown Deer Grapevine was created to address trending topics and correct misinformation spread throughout the Village via social media and by word of mouth. We appreciate our residents who seek to understand and learn. We believe that great discussions of Village issues must be based on the facts and not assumptions, innuendo or false narratives.

If you hear something through the grapevine in our community that you believe should be corrected or would like verification of facts, please contact the Village of Brown Deer by email, or go submit it through our website - Report an Issue. Under the Manager's Office section select "Village Issues / Questions for Village Manager".
