A major new housing development could soon reshape New Glarus. The proposed Matterhorn Heights subdivision, introduced earlier this summer by Bader Development LLC of Monroe, calls for 91 new residential lots, a public park, stormwater facilities, and a new network of connecting streets.

The project covers 42 acres of mostly cropland at the southwest corner of the Village. According to documents filed with the Village Plan Commission, the development would be built in phases. The first phase includes 25 lots along Heights Drive, while later phases would extend the subdivision north and west as utilities become available.
