Wetland Restoration Project (WRP)
The Wetland Restoration Project (WRP) is a project to relocate White Creek from the existing channelized location to its original location. A natural area will be created in the project area providing public access to the naturalized setting. The area has been named the Norway Myr.

Joint Planning Initiative
The City of Norway and Norway Township have entered into an agreement to form a joint Planning Commission to investigate and develop a joint intergovernmental comprehensive plan. The coordinated effort results from a common concern and interest in working together to advance joint efforts for future developments and opportunities for our entire area.
