Plan Commission Workshops Deemed a Success!

CLUE conducted 5 workshops throughout the State over the past three months: Stevens Point (Dec. 7), Eau Claire (Jan. 9), Rhinelander (Jan. 11), Oconomowoc (Jan. 18) and Appleton (Feb. 1). There were approximately 425 participants, averaging 85 per workshop. In general participants increased their level of knowledge. On average, 94% of the participants strongly agreed and somewhat agreed that speakers provided valuable insight and information. And on average, 95% of the participants strongly agreed and somewhat agreed that the workshops were informative. However, about half of the participants did not think we provided enough detailed information.

CLUE cancelled a workshop in Hayward due to lack of pre-registrants. We had decided we needed a minimum of 40 people to register one week prior to the date of the workshop. Because there is continued interest in holding a workshop in northwestern Wisconsin, we will attempt to hold another workshop in the Hayward area in April.

In addition, southwestern Wisconsin is working to establish a date for a plan commission workshop. It is tentatively set for April 11 or 12. If you are interested, please contact your county CRD or Agriculture extension educator and/or your county planner and zoning administrator.
