A judge has blocked Kohler Co.’s plans for a new golf course because the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources approved the development in sensitive sand dunes and wetlands without enough information to gauge environmental harm.
It wasn’t clear Tuesday if Kohler or the DNR would appeal administrative law judge Mark Kaiser’s ruling throwing out the wetland permit the agency approved in 2018.
The permit is one of two the DNR has issued since 2017 that were reversed based in part on testimony about department managers ordering approval against the advice of staff members who said the projects wouldn’t satisfy state law protecting wetlands....
Ken Notes: Let me go on record suggesting that Plan B here will not be as good as the project on the boards. Also Kohler has donated land and done so much for the region. I want them to continue to thrive in the state.
