Regional Comprehensive Plan 2025
NCWRPC began the process of updating its Regional Comprehensive Plan, formerly known as the Regional Livability Plan (2015), in April 2024. This document meets Wisconsin State Statutes 66.1001, which requires regional and local comprehensive plans to be updated every 10 years. This document guides the development of North Central Wisconsin and provides local comprehensive plans with data and strategies to address opportunities and issues facing the 10-county region. Below are meeting agendas and the most recent version of the plan’s draft chapters. Final review and adoption of the plan is expected to occur in spring and summer of 2025.
