Growth Alternative Discussion Public Events - City of Edmonds, WA

The City of Edmonds is embarking on a comprehensive update of its 20-year Comprehensive Plan, aiming to include diverse community perspectives in the growth management process. To gather input, the city is hosting two significant events: an online open house from March 11 to April 1, and an in-person public forum on March 23 at City Hall. The online open house will serve as an interactive platform, showcasing different growth alternative strategies and soliciting feedback on housing distribution for the next two decades. Residents are encouraged to visit the dedicated website to engage with the material and share their thoughts. The in-person forum will provide an opportunity for direct interaction with city staff, allowing attendees to ask questions and voice their opinions.

Planning Board members will be present to listen to the community's input, although they will not form a quorum. This initiative represents a proactive approach by the city to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan reflects the needs and priorities of its residents. Engaging the community in this manner underscores the importance of collaborative decision-making in urban planning.
