WINDSOR, WISC. (with EXCERPTS FROM GM TODAY DEFOREST TIMES TRIBUNE)–The Village of Windsor approved funding for assistance with various planning efforts, including $12,105 to Vandewalle & Associates, Inc. for their assistance in updating the village’s five-year Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP). The previous plan expired in 2020, which means the village is not currently eligible to receive federal, state and local grants.
Some work has been done by village staff on updating the plan, but with focus need elsewhere as well, it has not been worked on in a timely matter.
Community Development Director/Deputy Administrator Jamie Rybarczyk said the cost of updating that type of plan from scratch is between $20,000-$30,000.
Sonja Kruesel, an associate planner with Vandewalle, was in attendance of the meeting to answer any questions from the board. She noted that all the work done up to this point by village staff will be taken into account. Rybarczyk estimates the plan to be complete at the end of tis year or early 2023. Once the CORP is updated, Windsor will once again be eligible to receive grants for future projects.
The Village will also be working on updating its comprehensive plan sometime next year.
