Abstract:
Papers of an agricultural economist who was actively involved in the Wisconsin rural planning movement from the 1940s through the 1960s. Included are correspondence, reports, land use planning data, and a reference file of Wisconsin county and local zoning ordinances. The collection includes reports on various planning projects in which Penn or the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Wisconsin was involved including assessments of rural zoning during the 1930s and the northern resettlement project. Also included are materials on his involvement in the Forest Crop Advisory Committee during the 1960s and in the attempt to strengthen Wisconsin's water pollution legislation during the 1950s. The zoning reference file most extensively documents Penn's zoning work in Eau Claire and Oneida Counties.
