City of Rhinelander Comprehensive Plan 2016

The purpose of a Comprehensive Plan is to guide future growth and development in the City over the next 10 to 20 years. A comprehensive plan provides the vision and direction for natural resource protection, housing, economic development, transportation, community facilities, land use, intergovernmental relations, and other factors that together form the community’s future.
