Community Development

Community development encompasses a wide variety of program areas that all contribute to making our communities and neighborhoods attractive and safe places to live, work, and play. WCWRPC can assist with the successful planning, development, and implementation of your community program or project. We want to help you realize your community’s vision and goals.

2020 to 2050 Population Projections:

In January 2025, the Wisconsin Department of Administration (WDOA) released updated statewide population projections based on the 2020 U.S. Census. Prior to this release, the last projections were prepared in 2013 and were based on the 2010 U.S. Census.
