In 1999, the Governor signed into law Wisconsin Act 9, the Budget Bill, containing substantial revisions of existing planning related statutes and established the current comprehensive planning law (§66.1001 WI Stats.). Basically the law provides a definition of a plan, and should address demographic trends, natural resources, housing, transportation, economic development, and land use, among others. In addition, the law requires consistency between the local plan and local implementation tools of official mapping, subdivision ordinances and zoning ordinances; and requires public participation. Most important, is that it maintains that the process be locally driven so all local units of government decide their own future.
The Town of Plymouth Comprehensive Plan is intended to be the will-of-the-people in writing for land use planning. When the people’s desires in this community change, so too should this document. Local officials shall use this document to save time when making land use decisions. The Plan will also assist in development and management issues of public administration by addressing short-range and long-range concerns regarding development, and preservation of the community.
The Town of Nashville Comprehensive Plan of 2009 is a document that describes who we are as a community and public and private resources that are available to us in planning our future. The Plan gives us a comprehensive statistical profile of our community as of 2000 and makes a comparison of change since 1990 on a town, county and state level.
The Plan is a tool and not a description of end results or future planning goals. Citizens of the town and the Town Board and its Plan Commission can draw from the information in the Plan to shape the future development of the community and set realistic goals in planning decisions. What the town’s future will look like remains the determination of its citizenry. The Plan serves as a database and guide for this process.
