City of Muskego, Common Council - 3/10/26

The City of Muskego Common Council held a meeting on March 10, 2026, focusing heavily on the adoption and amendment of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. A significant portion of the discussion centered around concerns from residents regarding the eco-industrial designation in the plan, particularly related to environmental and public health risks from industrial activities such as recycling and concrete crushing. Residents expressed worries about potential hazardous materials and the adequacy of zoning enforcement. The council addressed these concerns by proposing to remove references to eco-industrial uses from the plan, clarifying that zoning regulations and state environmental permits govern such activities. Additionally, the council approved the 2026-2027 contract with the Test Corners Volunteer Fire Department, emphasizing the department's community contributions and the importance of resolving the contract promptly. Other agenda items included water capacity assessment amendments and zoning map changes. The meeting highlighted the council's responsiveness to public input on land use and environmental safety, as well as ongoing efforts to maintain essential public services through contracting and budget approvals.
