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.
Here's one chunk of highly visible farmland that simply resists getting paved over and turned into one more soulless wasteland of exclusive upscale build-out.
