Community Development Impact April 2023

  • Partnering with the Center for Land Use Education at UW-Stevens Point and the Sheboygan County Planning & Conservation Department, Kevin helped to coordinate a workshop on the UW-Sheboygan campus for over 50 local board of appeals/adjustments members and other interested officials. Participants learned about the basics of zoning, when to grant (or deny) variances, and best practices for protecting shoreland areas.
  • At the request of a local town, Kevin wrote an article for the town’s spring newsletter explaining the importance of testing well water and where to do so. The newsletter will soon be mailed to approximately 1,500 households in the town with private wells and also posted on the town’s website. The article included a link to the website of the state certified lab at UW-Stevens Point, which offers a multitude of tests for reasonable prices. The lab’s phone number and email address were also included. The lab mails out sampling kits upon order placement.
