The Adams 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 Adams 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.
Adams County All Hazards Mitigation Plan (AHMP) Update describes and documents the process used to develop the plan update. This includes how it was prepared and who (committee, organizations, departments, staff, consultants, etc.) was involved in the update process. It also describes the local government involvement, the time period in which the update was prepared, and who to contact to answer questions and make recommendations for future amendments to the plan.
Federal transit law requires that any projects selected for funding under the Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities (formerly titled Elderly and Disabled Capital Assistance Program) must be derived from a “locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan”. This requirement was implemented as part of the SAFETEA-LU legislation and the requirement continues under the new transportation legislation, MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century). The purpose of the coordinated planning process is to have stakeholder involvement in the assessment of elderly and disabled transportation, and to provide strategies and goals to improve those transportation alternatives. These coordinated plans were last completed in 2008 and are due to be updated in 2013.
The Town of Big Flats is an eight-mile by six-mile town with 48 sections, located in thev north-central part of Adams County, Wisconsin.

It is one of the seventeen towns in the county. Over the years the town has been dominated by swampland conifers and lowland hardwood forest types, and some agricultural uses. Scattered residential development also has been locating in the town.
The primary emphasis of the Adams County Bicycle And Pedestrian Plan is on developing a more bicycle friendly transportation system by establishing a facilities network and bringing all streets up to a minimum level of compatibility. Pedestrian accommodations are also reviewed and improvements are also suggested in this plan. Often the focus of a bicycle plan is solely on a network of improved roads and trails, but it is equally important to consider policies and practices.
