Koshkonong holds visioning workshop

From the Daily Jefferson County Union HERE

...The event was moderated by professor and community development educator Steve Grabow from the University of Wisconsin-Extension Jefferson County Office. Also participating was the town’s Smart Growth consultant Margaret Burlingham of LanDesign.

...As Grabow noted during the discussion, a few of the topics could actually be placed under multiple headings, like concerns about Lake Koshkonong could be placed in natural resources or recreation.

...A major part of the sense of place and community was consensus on park/recreation and maintaining the town’s rural character. Hopes included increasing native vegetation on public land; more bike route connections; planned access to Lake Koshkonong; maintaining rustic roads, and hoping the town’s skyline does not become a city or suburban skyline.

Call me skeptical, having participated myself in similiar "Vision" workshops, but I suspect this group's vision for Lake Koshkonong does not include water levels that promote boating safety, improved fishing or the benefit of dredging and man-made islands.

If it did, then we certainly should have heard from them during last year's Contested Case Hearing.
