• The Waushara County Comprehensive Plan was developed using a bottom-up approach. Each municipality in Waushara County was asked to prepare a comprehensive plan. The municipal plans were used as the basis of the County Comprehensive Plan.
• The Goals, Objectives, and Recommendations (Volume 1) were assembled by Schrieber Anderson Associates (SAA) with direction from the Waushara County Land Use Committee.
• The Background Report (Volume 2) was created by East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission with direction from the Waushara County Land Use Committee.
• The Waushara County Land Use Committee coordinated the planning effort in Wausahra County and was the committee responsible for the essembly of the Waushara County Comprehensive Plan using the municipal plans. The Land Use Committe is responsible for annually reviewing and updating the County Comprehensive Plan. Anyone interested is welcome to attend and participate. Each municipality in the county has been given the opportunity to appoint a representative to the committee. The Land Use Committee usually meets the last Monday in July at 6:30 in the Demonstration Room at the Waushara County Courthouse.
