The Badger Reuse Plan was completed in March 2001. It represents the consensus of twenty-one stakeholders working together for nine months; this Committee was chartered and created by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors. Funding for the Badger Reuse Plan was secured by Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin.
The Badger Reuse Plan has defined nine key values to guide consideration of future uses. To view the full text of the Badger Reuse Plan, please visit the Sauk County website: www.co.sauk.wi.us/data/badger/index.html.

Value 2 directs the federal government to complete the highest quality cleanup of the Badger property in a timely manner.
Value 3 pertains to maintenance of buildings and infrastructure that are historically significant or are needed to support cleanup activities and other approved uses.
