Having heard from about 900 Wasco County residents during a summer of taking input, the effort to update the County’s comprehensive land use plan moves into a new phase. County long-range planner Kelly Howsley Glover says a work plan based on the public feedback is being submitted to the state for final approval. Once they get that green light, Glover says they’ll be headed back to the public for a series of workshops. Glover notes the next phase will focus in on specific issues and details, unlike the first round which involved more visioning. She adds they anticipate the state will approve the work plan sometime in the winter months. Public input is still being taken at wasco2040.com.
