College Place launches comprehensive plan update and asks public to weigh in

City staff briefed the College Place Historic Preservation Commission on Aug. 21 about the citywide comprehensive plan update required by the Washington Growth Management Act and asked commission members to help publicize upcoming outreach.

Staff said a public survey will launch on or before Sept. 25, an open house is planned for October and the city will conduct in-person outreach at the farmer’s market. Commissioners were directed to the project website through the city’s Community Development pages and encouraged to sign up for email updates.

Staff noted that one commission member, Natalie, will serve on the project’s technical advisory group. Commissioners were asked to share the survey link and encourage community participation; staff said responses will inform plan work over the next year plus.

No formal action was taken; staff asked commissioners to assist with outreach and to raise any plan-related comments through the project website or directly to city staff.
