Adam Tegan’s new home of Wisconsin Rapids combines Planning and Economic Development—could we do this in Belvidere/Boone County?

Wisconsin Rapid’s Department of Planning and Economic Development's mission is to promote a safe, diverse, dynamic, and vibrant community, and enhance the living, working, and recreation choices for community residents and visitors. The Department is comprised of several divisions, including: •Economic Development The Division of Economic Development works to create, diversify, and enhance employment growth and to promote opportunities for business development and stability. The Division provides information relating to community demographics and financial tools that are intended to help businesses grow and prosper within the community. •Inspection and Zoning Services The Division of Inspection and Zoning Services oversees new construction of, and alterations to residential and commercial buildings, and the installation of electrical, heating and air conditioning systems, and plumbing. Plans for these developments or alterations are reviewed to ensure they meet a variety of municipal and State ordinances and codes. •For downloadable forms and permits, visit the Download and Information Center. •To make a request or file a building or property related complaint, visit the Online Request Center. •Planning The Division of Planning promotes the orderly and harmonious use of land, while improving the quality of life for current and future generations of this community. The Division is administered in a manner designed to fulfill the objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Staff within the Division provide assistance to applicants in the processing of permits and give citizens the opportunity to participate in land use decisions.
