Planning for the Future

Tonight, I attended the our central cluster group meeting
for the Oconto County Comprehensive Planning Commision.
First I want to say more people should get involved with
local goverment. It doesn't matter what part you might
look at , if you care about your community you need to
get involved.
We discussed information handed out to us from Bay-Lake
Regional Planning Commision out of Green Bay.

First discussed was "Economic Developement" and then
" Transportation " for Oconto County. Some of the highlights
was some of the citys and townships discussed a few reasons
why they were there and what they have accomplished so
far for there areas.
You 'd be surprised how local goverment works. One group
talked about having a driveway ordinance, and a windmill
ordinance.

"Say what", "windmills"?

Sure, what would you say if your neighbor decided to
put a 90 ft windmill next to your property . These people
are planning ahead and I give them a lot of credit.
Then in the transportation portion the question came out if
the county has laws against "rounabouts". The state D O T wants
to put two near and in the city of Gillett! I glad to hear the
people from Gillett are against such a goofy idea. Roundabouts
on a state highway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it was very interesting. For those that complain , stat home!
For those that care for your home and your community-
GET INVOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
