Financial Management Plan
The City of Peshtigo recently partnered with Ehlers & Associates, a well-respected public financial advisory firm that works with communities across Wisconsin and the Midwest. Ehlers specializes in helping cities, counties, and school districts plan responsibly for the future by providing independent guidance on debt management, capital improvement planning, utility rates, and long-term financial strategies.
As part of this partnership, Ehlers prepared a Five-Year Financial Management Plan (FMP) for Peshtigo. This plan acts as a roadmap to help City leaders:
- Understand our current financial position, including debt levels, fund balances, and utility operations.
- Plan for future capital projects while staying within levy limits and maintaining taxpayer value.
- Evaluate funding options and ensure resources are available for essential services.
- Strengthen long-term stability by anticipating challenges and opportunities.
The Financial Management Plan is not a final decision document—it is a tool to guide future choices. By working with Ehlers, Peshtigo is taking proactive steps to remain fiscally responsible while continuing to invest in the services and infrastructure that keep our community strong.
