Village of Pleasant Prairie

What Village of Pleasant Prairie does

The Village of Pleasant Prairie is an incorporated municipal government in southeast Wisconsin, founded in 1989, that delivers public safety, utilities, public works, recreation, and community-development services to approximately 22,013 residents across 33.64 square miles. Its service portfolio is broad and operational: police, fire, sewer and water utilities, automated single-stream garbage and recycling collection, a Residential Recycling Center that handles electronics, hazardous waste, bulk items, brush, leaves, and textiles, seven public parks plus Lake Michigan beaches, and the RecPlex regional sports and recreation facility that doubles as an emergency shelter.

The village funds operations through a mix of recurring and transactional streams: a property-tax mill rate of $4.68 per $1,000 of assessed value, monthly garbage collection fees ($21.50–$23.50 per cart), Residential Recycling Center disposal fees, and permit/license revenue from construction, business licensing, and alcohol beverage licensing. Its primary customer segments are residents, local businesses, corporate relocation prospects, and visitors; the village does not disclose a SaaS-style platform but operates a CivicLive-powered website portal for payments, permits, and records requests, alongside internal Workforce Paypro HR/payroll and SurveyMonkey-based resident feedback.

The dominant economic-development asset is LakeView Corporate Park — Wisconsin's largest industrial park at 2,000 acres and 10M+ square feet, hosting 80+ companies and 8,500+ employees — supported by newer Prairie Highlands Corporate Park and the LogistiCenter. Total industrial footprint of 17.92M square feet ranks Pleasant Prairie among the top manufacturing municipalities in Wisconsin, behind only Milwaukee, Green Bay, Madison, and Menomonee Falls by property value.
