Wasco County Commissioners held a hearing on the first two tasks coming out of the periodic comprehensive land use process, passing a first reading of them. County long-range planner Kelly Howsley Glover says these first two items involved the citizen involvement process and to get people used to a new format for the new comprehensive plan that will come out of Wasco 2040. She notes the current format had a lengthy series of chapters that discussed the data that supported the goals, policies, and implementation of the plan, and now each chapter will relate to directly to a statewide land use planning goal. The County Commission is expected to pass the second reading of the first items at their next meeting. A new set of Wasco 2040 public meetings that will focus on water resources, economic development, minimum parcel size, and agri-tourism will start later this month, with the first one taking place on May 30 at 5:30 p.m. in Dufur City Hall.
