Plan Purpose
The purpose of the Boyceville’s comprehensive plan is to act as a guide for not only Village government, but also local industries, businesses, developers, and residents so that informed decisions can be made about the growth of the community. It provides consistency in decision-making and is meant to be reviewed and revised as needed as the vision of the community evolves over time.
The comprehensive plan can provide a variety of benefits to Boyceville by identifying and protecting natural resources, or promoting development in order to provide services to residents at a reasonable cost.
