Services Available to Bay-Lake RPC Members
|
|
|
 As we approach the end of the year, and prepare to open the application process for our 2019 Technical Assistance Grant Program, we thought this would be a good time to highlight some of the services and assistance that is available to our member counties and municipalities.
Although the Bay-Lake Region encompasses Brown, Door, Florence, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Marinette, Oconto, and Sheboygan counties, Brown and Door counties have chosen not to be members of the Bay-Lake RPC. However, there are some municipalities within these two counties that have joined as individual members. Therefore, the following member communities have full access to our services, assistance, and Technical Assistance Grant Program:
- Florence County and all municipalities
- Marinette County and all municipalities
- Oconto County and all municipalities
- Town of Pittsfield and Oneida Nation in Brown County
- Town of Sevastopol in Door County
- Kewaunee County and all municipalities
- Manitowoc County and all municipalities
- Sheboygan County and all municipalities
In addition to the Bay-Lake RPC's upcoming Technical Assistance Grant Program, the following are some of the many services and assistance that the Bay-Lake RPC can provide:
- Community plans (including comprehensive plans, outdoor recreation plans, strategic plans, master plans, invasive species management plans, restoration plans, etc.)
- Pavement surveys
- Map and inventory data creation and management (including official maps, plat books and GIS inventories of community resources such as culverts, signs, water access points, trees, trails, cemetery plots, etc.)
- Site planning and design (including Sketchup and Adobe Illustrator designs)
- Invasive species management
- Housing studies
- Economic development and funding assistance
- Grant seeking, writing, and administration
- Public meeting facilitation
We look forward to working with you or helping you to develop your project. Please contact Cindy Wojtczak at (920) 448-2820, Ext. 102 if you have any questions about membership or available services.

Requesting Community Projects for the
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Annual Report
|
|
|
The Bay-Lake RPC annually requests economic and community development projects from communities in the region. The purpose is to gather projects to include in the CEDS and be eligible for EDA funding. The CEDS report provides an economic development strategy for the region and a basis for applying to EDA for project funding.
We are asking for your community's project priorities, and a list of up to five projects anticipated to begin in the next three years. The request is located here in the form of an online survey: Community CEDS Survey.
Please respond by November 26, 2018
. We appreciate your participation. Additional information about the EDA program can be found here:
Please contact Elizabeth Runge
at (920) 448-2820, Ext. 107 for additional information.

As part of a coastal recreation study that the Bay-Lake RPC is conducting for Kewaunee, Manitowoc, and Sheboygan County, we are looking to collect public input on the needs, desires, and opportunities along the lakeshore!
The communities on Lake Michigan have a lot to offer, not only to residents, but also visitors. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of the current supply of coastal tourism and recreational amenities, and to identify what lakeshore communities can do to enhance and expand coastal recreation.
For more information, please contact
