Welcome to the Incorporation Page!
All information regarding incorporation will be posted here.
To provide clarity on this process, below are a few basic answers regarding incorporation.
- What?
– Incorporation allows municipalities to attain the full municipal powers of a village (or city). - Why?
– Incorporation will permanently preserve our borders, prevent annexations, and maintain the entire physical area within our boundaries. - Where?
– Incorporation will preserve our current boundaries and maintain our physical footprint. - How?
– The incorporation process includes the publishing of the petition (done on September 21st), gathering signatures of individuals who are both landowners and qualified electors, a court hearing and determination, review and determination by the Wisconsin State Department of Administration, and a referendum which all eligible voters may participate in. - The published petition can be seen here: Incorporation Petition & Map
- When?
– The petition can be signed beginning October 2, 2024, with the goal of gathering up to 2,000 signatures within 30 days. - Why Now?
– The Town of Campbell entered a boundary agreement with the City of La Crosse in 2004. That agreement prohibited us from petitioning for incorporation until July 1, 2024. That boundary agreement expires December 31, 2024. Our goal is to file all petition paperwork before December 31, 2024.
Incorporation Petition Signing
A Town Representative will be at the Town Hall from 9am-1pm on Saturday, October 12th, 19th, and 26th, to collect signatures for the Incorporation Petition. Please remember that you must be both a landowner and a qualified elector to sign the petition.
