Village of Williams Bay Comprehensive Plan Update: Public Participation Events

For Immediate Release: 

The Village of Williams Bay is working on its 10-year update of the Comprehensive Plan, which was last significantly updated in 2010. The purpose of the plan is to provide a roadmap for the Village’s next twenty years. The plan touches on ten different topic areas including economic development, land use, transportation, historic preservation, natural resources, and several others. In addition, the document contains a community-wide vision, topic-specific goals, objectives, policies, and recommendations, and an action plan to help prioritize future projects.

On November 15, 2021, the Village of Williams Bay kicked off the project with a meeting of the Plan Commission and Village Board to gather upfront input on key areas of the Comprehensive Plan. In January, the Village is holding key public participation events to inform development of this important Plan as follows:

• The Village will conduct a series of focus group interviews with community stakeholders on a variety of topics.

• On January 19, 2022, an open-to-the-public Community Visioning Workshop will be held at the Williams Bay High School (250 Theatre Road) from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM. This meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to give input on the Village’s vision for the future and begin identifying and prioritizing future initiatives. We invite any interested community members to attend and participate in the public Community Visioning Workshop.
  • You can watch this workshop LIVE online by clicking here. You will only be able to watch the Workshop, not participate in it. If you would like to participate, please attend in-person.
