of the community. As required by the Wisconsin Smart Growth legislation,
the Comprehensive Plan addresses nine required plan elements: issues
and opportunities; housing; transportation; agricultural, natural
and cultural resources; economic development; land use; intergovernmental
coordination and implementation.
The Town Board may amend and update the Town
of Buchanan Comprehensive Plan, including associated maps. An application
for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan may be made by any property
owner.
