Additional Program Information

AB608, Wisconsin Act 233 — Clarification of Smart Growth Law

This bill was signed into law in April 2004. This new law reduces the number of programs or actions with which a comprehensive plan must be consistent. Under the new legislation, the only actions which must be consistent with a comprehensive plan are official mapping, local subdivision regulation, and zoning ordinances, including zoning of shorelands or wetlands in shorelands. The bill also reiterates that an RPC's comprehensive plan is only advisory in its applicability to a political subdivision (a city, village, town or county), and a political subdivision's comprehensive plan.

2. Population and Housing

Properly planning for Greenwood's future requires an understanding of the community's population, demographic and housing base. The following chapter inventories and analyzes available data to gain a basic understanding of the current population and housing status as well as to identify trends that are occurring. After knowledge of this base is gained, then the identification of future trends and issues can be determined.
