economic development. Comprehensive plans are not meant to serve as land use

Adams County Land and Water Resource Management Plan 2026-2035

The Adams County Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) plan was developed to assist the county in managing and protecting the land and water resources throughout Adams County.

At the root of the county Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) plan concept is the cooperation and coordination of all agencies and groups within the county that have a role in land and water resource management. This plan coordinates everyone’s efforts, and focuses on how the County’s Land and Water Conservation Department will work with the other agencies.

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.  

2025 Planning Timeline

Wood County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan 2025

The Wood County Ad Hoc Bike & Pedestrian Committee is overseeing the development of the Wood County Bike & Pedestrian Plan.

The Wood County Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan includes:

An inventory of bicycling conditions and sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian crashes with vehicles, and bicycle and pedestrian use areas. Researching where crashes occurred will show where some problem areas exist. Other problem locations will be found through analysis of the bicycling conditions on each major road.

Locations of potential bicycle routes and recommendations for roadway improvements. Maps will show where people are riding and where they plan to ride when it is safer to do so. Recommendation may include bicycle lanes in high traffic areas, and possibly no change along roads used more by bicyclists than vehicles (e.g. low volume roads).

Recommend solutions. The plan will include a combination of education, encouragement, engineering, and enforcement strategies to increase walking and biking.
