The fate of the incorporation effort now lies with the voters in the incorporating area. Should a majority of the voters decide to vote in favor of incorporating into a village, the incorporation will be final. Should a majority of voters decide to vote against incorporating into a village, the Town of Greenville will remain unincorporated.
Updates to the incorporation process will be posted on our website as they become available: http://townofgreenville.com/our_community/incorporation.php
What is incorporation?
Municipal incorporation is the process of creating new villages and cities from town territory. It is regulated under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 66 General Municipality Law (s. 66.0201).
