Wasco County Commission Continues Comp Plan Revision Hearing

Wasco County Commissioners decided to leave the record open for the next two weeks to allow for more testimony on changes to wildlife habitat, forest lands, and recreation portions of the county’s comprehensive land use plan following an over two-hour public hearing session on Wednesday.   It’s the final stage of the Wasco 2040 periodic review of the comprehensive plan.  But it brought objections from a number of County residents, including concerns about what some considered “overreaching” by the state in regard to wildlife habitat regulations, impacts on property owners ability to use their land, and tax implications.  Commissioner Scott Hege said he wanted to insure all testimony is received, so he decided to wait to allow written testimony for the next two weeks before conducting any deliberations.   The County Commission will address the subject again on October 21 at 10 a.m.
