City of Wausau Comprehensive Plan 2026

A comprehensive plan is a local government’s guide to community physical, social, and
economic development. Comprehensive plans are not meant to serve as land use
regulations in themselves; instead, they provide a rational basis for local land use
decisions with a twenty-year horizon for future planning and community decisions.

Forest County Land and Water Resource Management Plan 2027-2036

The Forest County Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan is a 10-year plan (2027-2036) that ensures county eligibility for annual state money to partially fund county conservation staff and county administered cost-share grants that implement soil and water improvement projects.

The purpose of a county Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan is to conserve long-term soil productivity, protect the quality of related natural resources, enhance water quality, and focus on severe soil erosion problems.

At the root of the county LWRM plan concept is the cooperation of all agencies and groups within the county that have a role in land and water resource management. This plan focuses on how a county’s Land and Water Conservation Department will work with the other agencies to implement agricultural performance standards (NR 151/ATCP 50), as well as address other local land and water resource management concerns.

Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plans provide counties an opportunity to explain how they will meet the state performance standards and prohibitions (NR 151 and ATCP 50) to reduce runoff and protect water quality, as well as address other local land and water resource management concerns. The LWRM Plan provides the counties with the ability to develop local strategies to address the concerns; budget the limited staff and cost share dollars toward these concerns; provide for integration of programs and funding from all sources; and develop a variety of implementation tools.
