The North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (NCWRPC) received resources from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to update the Comprehensive Plans of the Villages of Maine and Brokaw, and the Town of Texas, as well as to complete an Economic Development Adjustment Strategy for the region in 2018. Wisconsin state planning law – 66.1001 – requires that a comprehensive plan be updated every ten years.
A variety of meetings of the Plan Commissions of Maine and Brokaw were held over the course of early 2018 to prepare this plan. A final Plan Commission meeting was held in the summer of 2018 to review the final draft and recommend adoption of the plan to the Maine Village Board. A public hearing was held and the plan adopted on May 15 2019.
