The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) is a voluntary organization that has been established in accordance with State Statutes to serve the needs of its member Counties. It is comprised of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha Counties. The budget appropriates the funds necessary to pay that portion of SEWRPC's annual operating budget levied against the citizens of Racine County. The budget is allocated to the seven counties based upon equalized valuation.
SEWRPC staff perform a large variety of planning related work including community assistance, transportation, land use, and environmental planning; economic development assistance; cartographic work; economic, demographic, and public financial resource studies; and census tract coordination. Through its planning, the SEWRPC seeks to build a consensus among public and private interests on how to best resolve area-wide developmental and environmental problems.
Any member County may choose to withdraw from this organization by declaring its intention to do so before July 1 preceding the year in which that County would intend to cease participating as a member of the organization. Otherwise, the County Board is legally obligated to fund the specific tax levy adopted by SEWRPC for the following year.
