Suspicious person complaints

Deputies have been receiving numerous complaints about a suspicious black male acting strangely throughout the week. His name is Louis and lives in Greenville. Deputy Richards has handled several complaints regarding him. He has not been threatening or violent. When he is asked to leave a business he does so without causing a scene. Louis also does not have money to pay for items. Deputy Richards would like to find a way to alert business owners in the area about him. The County's Crisis team is aware of him and are coming up with possible solutions for the future.

Parking complaints 

We have received numerous complaints about parking in the lot south of the baseball fields at the end of Meadow Park Dr. Deputy Richards has made contact with the owners who were out of state in IL. They have recently moved to the area with their elderly parents. A black Corvette and white Cadillac have been removed. A camper is still in the parking lot currently. Deputy Richards advised that by June 2nd the camper must be removed that parking lot is not long term parking. If parking issues continue vehicles will be towed at owners expense. 　

Disturbance 　

A Deputy was dispatched for disturbance between family members. One of the family members left before Deputies arrived. Deputies on scene spoke with the family present on what took place. Another Deputy was able to make a traffic stop on the suspect that had left the scene in her vehicle. After interviews on all parties it was concluded that a crime had not been committed. The suspect was spoken to about her actions and how future occurrences could result in citations or be arrested.

Draft Comprehensive Plan Ready for Community Feedback

The Town of Greenville’s population of 11,652 (Jan. 1, 2017 est.) is expected to grow by 4,738 persons, to 16,390, by 2040 - an increase of about 41%! Where are these people going to live? How many more cars will be on the road? What new businesses will pop up as a result? What does this mean in terms of overall land use change, provision of services, and demands for housing, parks, trails and other amenities? 

To help answer and address these questions, the Town of Greenville has hired the East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (www.ecwrpc.org) to update its 20-year Comprehensive Plan, last prepared in 2009.

After months of public meetings and discussions, the draft Greenville 2040 Comprehensive Plan is now available for public review. Please visit our website to download the plan at https://bit.ly/2JY9n1Z

The draft plan will be discussed on June 24, 2019 at 4:30pm at the Greenville Town Hall with the Planning Commission with a public hearing tentatively scheduled for July 22, 2019 at 5:30pm at the Town Hall.

 
If you have any thoughts or ideas about the future of the Town and what this Plan Update should address, please share them with Michael J.D. Brown, Community & Economic Development Director at mbrown@townofgreenville.com.
