Long Range Property Plan
We’re excited for the future. And preparing for it now!
Badgerland is in the midst of executing the Long Range Property Plan.
First a little history to explain how we got to where we are today. Development of the strategy was literally years in the making. A volunteer-led, Property Planning Committee was appointed by the Board in 2009 to review, in depth, all ten Badgerland properties. Their job? Scrutinize all ten properties with an eye for program potential and the cost of bringing properties up to program standards. That committee concluded its work with property-by-property recommendations presented to the Board in April 2013. In the fall of 2013, those proposals were released to the full membership for review and comment. Following the listening and commenting period, the Board voted on the final plan in June 2014.
