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.

Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy 2018 Annual Performance Report

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.
