Comprehensive Plan
Altoona's Comprehensive Plan provides the most recent available statistics and survey data, documents the important issues of concern identified by city residents, and sets forth goals, objectives, policies, and recommendations for actions to guide future development. The plan covers topics mandated by Wisconsin State Statute 66.1001, but the content of the plan reflects local concerns. This plan looks forward 20 years, is reviewed annually, and is fully updated every ten years.

Energy Action Plan
The City of Altoona teamed up with Xcel Energy's Partners in Energy to engage the broader Altoona community in the conversation about energy efficiency and renewable energy. Community stakeholders committed to representing our community participated in workshops to identify target audiences, create strategies, and prioritize near-term actions. The Altoona City Council approved the Energy Action Plan in September 2023. Our Energy Action Plan creates intention, focuses our efforts, and identifies actions to engage our community to benefit municipal properties, new development, small and medium-sized businesses, residents, and rental property owners.

Eau Claire Regional Housing Study
The Eau Claire Regional Housing Study was done by Altoona in partnership with the City of Eau Claire and Eau Claire County. The purpose of this document is to convey to the region past and current housing market trends and conditions, in the process identifying resulting challenges and opportunities that have arisen and, likewise, ways in which the public sector might intervene to obtain any number of publicly articulated housing goals. The analysis in this document communicates the pertinent recent history of the county's housing market, where it stands as of early 2023, and where the market might be headed in the future. Recommendations were applied both with the region as a whole in mind as well as tailored to its individual communities.
