Regional planning in Wisconsin has evolved from a long tradition of state and local concern for land and water conservation, balanced economic development, and other concerns for the future of our state. The realization that many natural and human problems and activities often affect an area larger than a single city, town, village, or county led to the concept of an area-wide approach to planning. The Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission is a public agency that has been established to provide planning service on area-wide issues, to represent local interests on state and federal planning program activities, and to provide local planning assistance to communities in the Bay-Lake Region. The Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission was established by Governor Patrick Lucey in 1972 by Executive Order 35 and covers the counties of Brown, Door, Florence, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Marinette, Oconto and Sheboygan in northeastern Wisconsin.
