2027 Comprehensive Plan Update
The Village Board of Marathon City, in cooperation with the Plan Commission and the North Central Wisconsin Regional Plan Commission have begun the process to update the Comprehensive Plan of the Village. The updated plan is focused on key initiatives for the future growth and prosperity of the Village.
A comprehensive plan is a local government’s guide to community physical, social, and economic development. Comprehensive Plans are not meant to serve as land use regulations in themselves, and, instead, they provide a rational basis for local land use decisions with a twenty-year horizon for future planning and community decisions. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan is a dynamic – living document that can be amended at any time. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan should be used to:
• Guide local officials when making decisions that affect growth and development, especially decisions related to land use
• Guide public and private investment in the Village and support grant funding requests
• Examine statistical data and community opinions to provide context for policies in the plan and to form a benchmark for future reference and comparison.
