Walworth Wisconsin is looking at a propsed new development with a little trepidation

A recent proposal in the Town of Walworth Wisconsin has a
development plan of 210 units on 140 acres of land. Developer Robert Clemen’s proposal will be
discussed tonight at a Town Board Meeting. The development, Covered Bridges, is said to bring 74 single family
homes and 68 duplexes, with costs between $350,000-500,000 and $230,000-330,000,
respectively. Approximately 61 acres
will be open space in the subdivision, featuring a two mile hiking trail, and will
be maintained by the homeowners association.

Despite Clemen’s proposed economic and social improvements
(i.e. more enrollment in struggling area schools and an increase in annual
revenue), many area residents are not convinced of the benefits. A petition has been circulated and signed to
stop the project, claiming that it will adversely affect the town by increasing
traffic, losing agricultural lands, and affecting Delevan Lake and the water
table; they also predict the need for a separate police force solely for the
development. 

If the proposal is approved at the Town Board meeting
tonight, it will also have to be approved by the county and town of Walworth. The board meeting will be held at Walworth
Elementary due to the anticipated crowd at 6:30pm.
