The Langlade County Land and Water Resource Management Plan is drafted as a 5-

The Niijii Community is defined by the people who live and work there; the houses and businesses; the parks and cultural features. There are three tribes affiliated with the NiiJii Enterprise Community; they are the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin and Sokaogon Chippewa Community (aka Mole Lake Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians), see MAP 1. The comprehensive plan provides guidance to the NiiJii Enterprise Community when making future decisions on key community elements. How a community changes, how that change is perceived and how change is managed are the subjects of community comprehensive planning. The plan will provide goals, objectives and policies to successfully grow and advance the communities in five key elements: Population and Housing; Economic Development; Utilities and Transportation; Agriculture, Natural Resources and Cultural; and Land Use. Goals and objectives include key livability principles ensuring future growth that accommodates community member’s needs and desires ultimately working towards a better more sustainable life for the NiiJii Enterprise Community.
This document analyzes alternatives for locating and developing the Ice Age National Scenic Trail (NST) through southern Langlade County in Wisconsin and proposes implementation of the “Preferred” alternative.
On October 3, 1980, an amendment to the National Trails System (16 U.S.C. 1241 et seq.) authorized establishment of the Ice Age Trail as a National Scenic Trail (NST). To date, Congress has authorized the establishment of eleven NSTs—“extended trails so located as to provide for maximum outdoor recreation potential and for the conservation and enjoyment of the nationally significant scenic, historic, natural, or cultural qualities of the areas through which such trails may pass.” These trails are patterned after the renowned Appalachian NST. NSTs are intended to provide superlative experiences compared to other trails.
Part I of the Langlade 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’s 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.
