      Draft Year Comprehensive Plan Update:

    • In 2016, the Town contracted with the East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission to initiate a formal update of the Town's existing comprehensive plan. During the spring of 2017, the Town hosted a Public Visioning Session to obtain input from the general public on key community interests that were used to identify major issues.  A Public Visioning Portal was also available to solicit additional input. The Town’s website was updated during the planning process, Plan Commission meetings were open to the public, and public was welcome to provide comment.  Now after working with the consultant for more than a year, the Town the Year 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update is ready for public review and comment.  A public informational meeting on the plan will be held prior to the May 14, 2018 Plan Commission meeting. The Plan Commission meeting, which begins at 7:00 p.m. will include a public hearing on the Plan.  It is anticipated that the Plan Commission will take action on the Plan at this meeting. The Town Board is expected to action on the plan at its May meeting.  Once adopted, this plan will be used to guide future decisions on land use development.
