Walworth WI looks to work out Border Agreement

Walworth Wisconsin is seriously considering working for a border agreement with a neighboring village, as discussed by Plan Commission officials in last week’s meeting.  Town officials are focusing on coming to a border agreement with the village of Walworth, as Wisconsin’s state law allows cities or villages to annex land from neighboring towns at the property owner’s request.  By this agreement, Walworth Wisconsin town officials hope to protect their tax base and keep their borders intact.  Fontana Wisconsin has already developed an agreement with the village of Walworth that would limit what areas of land the village could annex from the town of Walworth; this border runs along the railroad track and goes by school district lines.  A main objective in Walworth Town officials’ minds is to prevent the neighboring villages from having a vote in large scale developments with the intent of controlled growth in the area; thus the town of Walworth is looking for a sort of ‘good faith’ bond with the village of Walworth and other surrounding towns.
