Town of Adams Comprehensive Plan 2018

The purpose of a Comprehensive Plan is to guide future growth and development in the Town over the next 10 to 20 years. A comprehensive plan provides the vision and direction for natural resource protection, housing and economic development, transportation and community facilities, land use, intergovernmental relations, and other factors that together form the community’s future. Comprehensive planning was enacted to encourage long-range planning for communities and provide consistency in land use decision making. The Comprehensive Plan is a guide that elected officials, residents, and business owners can use for directing growth and redevelopment in the community. The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy document consisting of goals, objectives, and policies prepared to meet the State’s definition of a comprehensive plan as defined under Section 66.1001.

North Central Wisconsin Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan

The North Central Wisconsin Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is one of the first steps to implementing the Regional Livability Plan. This plan will analyze bicycle and pedestrian transportation throughout the Region, and recommend policies, programs, and facilities to improve the safety, viability, convenience, and attractiveness of bicycling and walking for transportation.

This Regional Plan is intended to bridge the gap between the largely policy-based State plans and local community planning for bicycle and pedestrian networks. Many communities and counties within our Region have invested in bicycling and walking improvements, but these improvements often end at the boundary of the jurisdictions that planned them. This Regional Plan serves as a guide to help these communities and counties connect across their boundaries to form a complete Regional network of safe walking and bicycling.

An assessment of economic development activities of the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission over the last decade and the past year. The report’s seven sections describe the CEDS Committee, Past Year’s Activities, the Physical Region, Changes in the Region’s Population, changes in the Region’s Economy, a Regional Development Strategy, and an Economic Development Work Plan. Also included is a list of potential public works projects. This CEDS process maintains the Region’s eligibility as an Economic Development District (EDD) with the U.S. Economic Development Administration. The District consists of ten counties. These counties are Adams, Forest, Juneau, Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Oneida, Portage, Vilas, and Wood. However, Portage, and Wood Counties do not fully participate in the EDD – only some local communities with these two Counties participate.

Forest County Land and Water Resource Management 2018-2027

The Forest County Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) plan was developed to assist the county in managing and protecting the land and water resources throughout Forest County.

The goals and objectives in this plan will help resolve local natural resource problems as identified by the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC).  These goals and objectives will also provide the basis for various private, local, state, and federal agencies to coordinate implementation of their programs of land and water management.  Additional advice was received from the Forest County Land and Water Committee during the course of meetings and in the form of motions or suggestions for items and issues to include in the plan.  

Profile – Wisconsin Regional Planning Commissions

Over the years, the demands on the regional planning commission (RPCs) have changed. These changes, however, have not altered the basic advisory role of the commissions. The original and traditional role of the commissions was to plan for the physical development of the areas they served. This involved planning issues, such as land use, transportation, natural resources, and water and sewer services. While this function has continued to be important, technical assistance in such areas as economic development, grant and loan services, and local government management.
