Purpose

Sauk County worked with a planner to develop “Making Sauk: A Place Plan”. This plan mapped ways that Sauk County government and the broader Sauk County Community could work to ensure a vibrant future for Sauk County. One of the goals of the plan is to provide the staffing support necessary to implement the recommendations outline in the Plan. The Plan further recommended creating a Community Liaison position to work collaboratively with municipalities and organizations. The Plan further developed a “Grow in Sauk” Social Media Plan. This position would work to implement this plan. This position moves the Placemaking initiative forward and implements the next steps for success. The Sauk County Board rated Placemaking high on its strategic issues for 2017 – 2019. Funding for the position is partially from Placemaking carryforward dollars from Conservation, Planning, and Zoning Department’s budget and partially from tax levy.
