NW Quadrant Land Use Plan

Having finalized the Comprehensive Plan for the “Northeast Quadrant” (NEQ), Wright County has begun the process of preparing a Comprehensive Plan for the “Northwest Quadrant” (NWQ) of the County. The NWQ includes the Townships of Chatham, Albion, French Lake, Southside, Corinna, Maple Lake, Silver Creek and Clearwater, and the Cities of Maple Lake, Annandale, South Haven, Clearwater, and a small part of the City of Buffalo. County staff and our consultant team from SEH, Inc. have begun meeting with township and city elected officials and staff to explain the process, answer questions and obtain initial input. The County Planning Commission will also meet with staff regularly to review progress and offer feedback and direction. Much of the work completed on the NEQ Plan will be transferable to the NWQ Plan, but there are also many unique features of northwestern Wright County that need to be considered. Various topic-specific committees will be formed to provide guidance to County staff and the consultant team in the formulation and adoption of this new plan; see the call for volunteers and posted committee meetings as they occur elsewhere on this page.

Larger public meetings will be scheduled, and noted on these pages, to inform and gain input during the process. There has never been a more important time for public participation to plan for the future use of land and systems in this area. Stakeholder participation, consensus-building and intergovernmental cooperation are key factors in the land use planning process, and the County invites all to join in planning our future. You are welcome to browse the information on these pages and to respond by email with your concerns and comments as the process unfolds.
