Southwestern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SWWRPC) is working with the Village of Monticello to update their 2005 Comprehensive Plan. The update to the 2005 Comprehensive Plan will provide the Village of Monticello with a single vision to unite decision-making and coordinate city resources and services through 2025. This process is supported by the valuable efforts of the Village of Monticello, Green County Development Corporation (GCDC), and University of Wisconsin Extension (UW-Extension).

The Visioning Event is scheduled for Thursday, December 3, 2015, at the Monticello School District from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (time to watch the Packers kickoff). This comprehensive planning process launched with a Vision Boards activity. Vision Boards are located at the Monticello Library and the Monticello School District until November 30th. This visioning exercise will encourage residents of Monticello to imagine their ideal 2025 Monticello. The responses from the public will directly impact the planning process and implementation of the plan.

The plan process will feature four community meetings, focusing on aspects of daily life in Monticello. These meetings begin in January 2016 and will continue through the end of April 2016. These meetings include:

Community Resources (Natural & Agricultural Resources; Parks & Recreation; Education, Culture and Creativity)

Infrastructure (Housing, Transportation, Waste Management, Utilities and Public Safety)

Economic Development

Land Use and Implementation

Any Monticello resident interested in attending the Visioning Event or any of the topic areas are encouraged to contribute! To participate, or for more information, contact Katherine Burk at SWWRPC, by phone (608) 342-6005, or by email k.burk@swwrpc.org.
