We feel it is important for all municipalities to have zoning and land use plans. 700 plus towns have county zoning - 360 towns have no county or town zoning and 200 towns have their own zoning such as in Rock and Brown County. By 2010 all municipalities by law will have to have comprehensive land plans adopted by their elected officials. As Steve Deller pointed out earlier this morning there is a great amount of information that is available for local public officials to use in planning and making better decisions for their citizens. The purpose is for the citizens to come forth to be heard with their concerns to be better served by elected officials.
Town government is the form of government closes to the people.
