Klickitat County is working on putting together the final draft of a new Strategic Economic Plan. Work on the plan has been going on for nearly a year. Commissioner David Sauter says the plan will help guide the County over the next ten years, and is broken into West, Central, and East sections, identifying projects in all three. High tech is emphasized in the western portion of the county, “clean tech” including renewables in the central, and viniculture in the east end, with agriculture a key in all three areas. Sauter says committee members who have worked on the plan are developing comments and will be considering whether to move the plan from draft form, and expect to go to communities with it this spring and summer.
