Greenville Incorporation Update

On Monday, April 29, 2019, the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) and Wisconsin Incorporation Review Board held a Public Hearing at the Greenville Town Hall to receive public comment on the incorporation petition for the Village of Greenville.  The following presentation was provided in support of the incorporation of the Village of Greenville.  A transcript of the public hearing will be posted on the Town's website when it becomes available.

Written comments will be accepted until May 9 and may be sent to the Municipal Boundary Review Program, Division of Intergovernmental Relations, Wisconsin Department of Administration at wimunicipalboundaryreview@wi.gov or P.O. Box 1645, Madison, WI 53701.

The DOA has announced that the Incorporation Review Board will now be hosting another Public Hearing to be held in Madison tentatively scheduled for July 23, 2019 (the time, building and room assignments are still to be determined). The Incorporation Review Board will not make their final determination at this hearing and will instead hold another hearing in August.  The Incorporation Review Board has until September 6, 2019 to make their final determination.

Should the Incorporation Review Board determine that the incorporation petition meets the statutory criteria then the petition will be sent back to Outagamie County Circuit Court for a scheduled court hearing.  At this hearing the Judge will likely set the date for the incorporation referendum for later in the fall.
