Welcome to the Village of Caledonia!

We hope that as you take this virtual tour of our community you will find answers to your questions and see why Caledonia is the ideal place for you to find your future.

Caledonia is strategically situated between Chicago and Milwaukee in the developing Interstate 94 Corridor. Because of this singular locality, the Village offers distinctive advantages for both residential and commercial relocation. As you peruse our web site, note the link to our land use and neighborhood plans. There you can see our unique blend of residential areas, set asides for open space and parks and well planned areas for commercial development.

Caledonia is noted for its acres and acres of beautiful open space, horse farms and trails. The Root River meanders through the heart of Caledonia, creating an idyllic setting. The Village has been in the vanguard in the State with our conservation subdivision ordinance, which requires a land stewardship plan and significant reserved common open space.

At the same time, Caledonia officials are well aware of the advantages of a diverse tax base. To that end, the land use plan provides for future commercial development in the most logical places such as along and near Interstate 94, in the current Industrial Park and along State Highway 32. To further spur development, the Village has created two Tax Increment Districts and stands ready to do another TID if the project qualifies.

Finally, the Village provides a full complement of municipal services including water and sanitary sewer services, storm water management, 24-hour police coverage and a full-time fire and rescue department with three locations for optimum response time. The Village’s tax rate historically has been among the lowest in southeastern Wisconsin.

We hope that you find answers to your questions in our web site. If you are contemplating a personal or business relocation to Caledonia, please do not hesitate to explore even more by contacting us. We are 46 square miles of possibilities!
