The Town of Greenville Comprehensive Plan will aid local officials in making land use decisions that are harmonious with the community’s overall vision of the future while ensuring the sustainability of local natural resources and reflecting the agricultural heritage of the Town of Greenville. The Comprehensive Plan will contain goals, objectives, and strategies in the areas of:

• land use
• transportation
• economic development
• housing
• parks and recreation
• cultural resources
• agriculture
• natural resources
• community facilities

These goals, objectives, and strategies will describe the Town’s ideal future state for a specific element of the comprehensive plan and provide detailed measures that enact the Town’s vision for the future.

   The new Town of Greenville Comprehensive Plan will be prepared in conformance with §66.1001 and will constitute a comprehensive update to the 1999 Comprehensive Plan. The “Smart Growth” or comprehensive planning legislation passed by the Wisconsin Legislature in 1999 requires that all communities adopt and prepare a comprehensive plan in accordance with §66.1001 by 2010. The statutes also require that all land use decisions made by the local government are consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan.
