The City of White Salmon is planning community surveys, walking tours, and hosted conversations with experts to engage residents in the conversation on housing needs.  Mayor Marla Keethler says as City officials delve into this subject in the next few months, they need to gauge what the community’s vision is.  She says that could involve breaking down barriers in the City codes that make building homes cost prohibitive for developers, and how zoning could be adjusted to encourage various types of housing.  Keethler says White Salmon’s Planning Commission and City Council will be working on municipal housing codes over the next few months.
