New topics are proposed updates to county’s growth management plan

Vancouver, WA – Several new topics regarding the proposed update of the county’s Comprehensive Growth Management Plan are now available for public comment at the online platform, Engage Clark County.

Engage Clark County enables community members to offer ideas and comments on a variety of topics. Currently, the focus is proposed components of the county’s state-mandated comprehensive plan. During the months-long plan update process, approximately 370 registered Clark County subscribers have used the feedback tool provided by Peak Democracy.

Subscribers receive an email notifying them when a new survey question about the proposed plan update is posted. They can share comments and new ideas, give feedback on recommended changes to the plan, comment on other subscribers’ ideas and expand on discussion topics. Residents who register with Engage Clark County may provide comments without showing their name.

Comprehensive plan update questions will be available through Wednesday, May 11. Comments will be given to the Planning Commission and Board of County Councilors as part of the public record for joint hearings on the proposed update.

Anyone can submit a comment to Engage Clark County, but only comments from registered subscribers will be visible in the online forum. However, all comments will be submitted to the public record and posted at www.clark.wa.gov/community-planning/plan-adoption.
