Winneshiek County Planning and Zoning Commission Community Survey

DRC Sponsor: John Moeller

Our speakers for this day are Rachel Brummel, Environmental Studies professor at Luther College and Cole Barrett, a Luther student. Ms. Brummel has been working with the County Supervisors and the Winneshiek County Planning and Zoning Commission to learn more about citizen attitudes regarding various local resources. In the fall of 2022 she led a series of five open community meetings in which participants identified the natural and historic resources they most valued and wanted to protect. This summer the Planning and Zoning Commission asked residents to evaluate their priorities for key resources, including water, farmland, historic sites, natural areas, and air.  Our speakers will discuss what they are learning from the meetings and surveys.

The members of the Winneshiek County Planning and Zoning Commission include Wendy M. Stevens (Chair), John Berlage, D.J. Friest, Mary Hoffman, David Meyer, Melissa O’Rourke, and Donna Rasmussen.
