Brown Deer Kicks Off Comprehensive Plan

The Village of Brown Deer began its comprehensive planning process in February 2008. Over the next 14 months, Village officials and staff will work with residents, businesspeople and employees to produce a plan to guide Brown Deer over the next 20 years. The Plan will address many aspects of life in the Village, including:

• The mix of development preferred by Brown Deer residents
• Housing options and neighborhood preservation
• Opportunities to redevelop shopping districts and other areas
• Transportation in the Village, including walking and bicycling
• Parks, community space and natural resources

All communities in Wisconsin are required to adopt Comprehensive Plans by January 1, 2010 (What is Comprehensive Planning?). All zoning and development decisions must be consistent with the Plan. The Brown Deer Comprehensive Plan will combine rigorous data analysis, creative thinking and the expertise of Village stakeholders to produce a blueprint to achieving the community’s vision for its future.
