The Road To Sprawlville, Chapter XXVI: Waukesha County, Countywide
No surprise: Waukesha County is getting 'built-out,' as they say.
This is what the county planners, with the permission of the County Board, have wanted: development, even at the expense of prime ag land, the Kettle Moraine and environmental corridors recommended for preservation by SEWRPC - - but ignored by local governments, chasing after tax base.
Let's hope that Jefferson, Washington and Ozaukee Counties don't throw away their legacies and landscape with Waukesha County's thoughtlessness.
