A comprehensive plan is a local government’s guide to physical, social, and economic development. It provides a rational basis for local land use decisions with a 20-year vision for future planning and community decisions. The Wisconsin Comprehensive Planning Law (s. 66.1001 Wis. Stats.) requires public participation at the local level in deciding a collective vision for the community’s future, which is outlined in this Plan’s goals, objectives, policies, and Future Land Use map. Comprehensive plans must be updated no less than every 10 years.
At the end of most chapters is first, a list of programs that a community may use to implement that chapter, followed by a set of goals, objectives, and policies related to that chapter. The goals, objectives, and policies were initially created by the City’s Plan Commission during the planning process, and are used to guide future actions of the City over the planning period. Changes to these goals, objectives, and policies may be made through the amendment process for this plan.

The Forest County Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan is a 10-year plan (2027-2036) that ensures county eligibility for annual state money to partially fund county conservation staff and county administered cost-share grants that implement soil and water improvement projects.
The purpose of a county Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan is to conserve long-term soil productivity, protect the quality of related natural resources, enhance water quality, and focus on severe soil erosion problems.
At the root of the county LWRM plan concept is the cooperation of all agencies and groups within the county that have a role in land and water resource management. This plan focuses on how a county’s Land and Water Conservation Department will work with the other agencies to implement agricultural performance standards (NR 151/ATCP 50), as well as address other local land and water resource management concerns.
Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plans provide counties an opportunity to explain how they will meet the state performance standards and prohibitions (NR 151 and ATCP 50) to reduce runoff and protect water quality, as well as address other local land and water resource management concerns. The LWRM Plan provides the counties with the ability to develop local strategies to address the concerns; budget the limited staff and cost share dollars toward these concerns; provide for integration of programs and funding from all sources; and develop a variety of implementation tools.

A county farmland preservation plan establishes trends and resources related to agriculture, lists policies and goals related to farmland protection and identifies lands that will remain in agricultural use for the foreseeable future. Counties with agricultural lands can use a farmland preservation plan to guide conservation of such lands for active use as farms throughout the county.
The planning process is an opportunity for different levels of local government to cooperate and build relationships. A county is encouraged to include local towns, cities and village’s land use plans and engage with local stakeholders to draft the plan. When a county plans for farmland preservation, they are acknowledging that agricultural lands are integral to the future of the county.

We are updating this plan in 2026: Lincoln County Farmland Preservation Plan 2016.
