Bangstad loses zoning appeal in Oneida County, cannot open business this summer
On Thursday morning, the Oneida County zoning committee declined to reverse its decision to revoke the conditional use permit for Bangstad’s Minocqua taproom. This means the business will not be legally allowed to open this summer.
The zoning dispute dates back to 2021, when local officials required Bangstad to install curbs, create a stormwater plan and make other zoning changes to the Minocqua property. He refused and has battled town and county officials in the years since.
Bangstad, who was disruptive during the meeting, was eventually removed by an Oneida County Sheriff’s captain, WJFW-TV reported. He has repeatedly claimed that he is being targeted by the town of Minocqua and Oneida County for his political activism, a claim officials deny. He previously sued local officials in federal court claiming First Amendment violations. A judge dismissed that case in June.
