Community Development

The Community Development Department is here to help you discover why quality of life is serious business in Appleton.

Our mission is to deliver programs, administer regulations, and provide resources to:

» Present Appleton as a leader in the Fox Cities in which to live and do business,
 
» Promote comprehensive and smart growth concepts to ensure land use compatibility and quality built environments,
 
» Enhance and diversify the tax base through new construction and reinvestments in existing areas,
 
» Support improvements in the housing stock and advance the quality of our neighborhoods,
 
» Partner with the community in initiatives that promote Appleton as a vibrant area and improve the lives of Appleton's citizens.
