Advisory committee meetings

The 18-member WIS 15 Advisory Committee was selected to provide a consistent local review of the alternatives being outlined in the EIS. The committee ensures representation for the entire WIS 15 corridor, from US 41 in the east to Hortonville in the west.

The committee is comprised of local government staff, elected officials, citizens and businesses from Outagamie County potentially impacted by future changes to WIS 15.

Committee members are local contacts for citizens with questions, comments or concerns about the WIS 15 study and have agreed to have their names and contact information used in newsletters and public involvement activities.

The advisory committee met in December 2002, February and October 2003, and June 2004.

The advisory committee met in March 2007 to provide their comments on the DEIS and the preferred alternative.
