Bloomfield considers incorporation

As their neighbors with an eye toward expansion look to Bloomfield Township, residents are considering incorporation to fend off future annexation.

Residents turned down a plan to incorporate Pell Lake in 2001.

Bloomfield does not have a border agreement with Lake Geneva, but it has an agreement with Genoa City that expires Jan. 1, 2009.

The village of Genoa City has filed a motion with the court to intervene in the incorporation, saying it already has identified the land to the northwest of the village as part of its urban service area.

Judge Robert Kennedy is expected to review the petition Tuesday. If he finds it meets standards for incorporation, Kennedy could forward the petition to the Wisconsin Department of Administration for review.
