The Wasco County 2040 comprehensive land use plan update enters a new phase later this month as housing and parcel size flexibility becomes a focus. County Senior Planner Kelly Howsley-Glover notes with a large and diverse county, this topic will be one of the most complex they will deal with. Workshops are scheduled for March 20 at Columbia Gorge Community College in The Dalles, March 21 at the Tygh Valley Community Center, March 26 at the Mosier Grange Hall, and March 28 at the Wamic Community Center, with all four running from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Information and a survey is available at wasco2040.com.
