Clark County is revising its Comprehensive Growth Management Plan, a 20-year guide for managing growth and development with respect to the natural environment and available resources. As a part of the update, the county is conducting an agricultural resource lands study.

Following the first open house in September, this second event will provide information on the methodology used for the study. Some high-level initial findings will also be discussed. The upcoming open house is scheduled for 5:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, at the Battle Ground Community Center, 912 E Main St. Registration for the open house is encouraged at bit.ly/2025CPAgReg2.

Clark County has not performed a comprehensive agricultural resource lands study since the initial adoption of the county’s first comprehensive plan under the Growth Management Act (GMA) in 1994. The general purpose of the study is to help inform the county’s decisions regarding the 2025 comprehensive plan update and ensure that the county’s agricultural resource lands designations comply with applicable county code and state statutes. 

The study will focus on land within the unincorporated areas of the county, outside of the current urban growth areas. It will include currently designated agricultural resource lands and rural zoned lands.
