Wisconsin Statues 66.0309(9) requires regional planning commissions to develop and adopt a master comprehensive plan for the physical development of their regions and which shall consist of at least the nine elements under the State Comprehensive Planning Law (ss 66.1101).
In 2009, SWWRPC was awarded a grant to develop a regional plan that identifies and addresses the issues and concerns facing Southwestern Wisconsin.
For over seven years, SWWRPC has assisted all five counties, and their respected jurisdictions within, to develop their own comprehensive plans. Over a hundred town, village, and city comprehensive plans have been adopted with the assistance of SWWRPC which, in turn, were incorporated into their respected county plans. With the adoption of those five county plans, SWWRPC is ready to incorporate those into a regional comprehensive plan that distills all the local knowledge into regional strategies that will protect and enhance the Southwestern Wisconsin way of life.
Below you will find links to various components of the plan.
