Comprehensive Plan Comment Deadline Extended!

 

Thanks to requests from the public and MVCC, the comment period for the Okanogan County Comprehensive Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement is extended to September 19 to accommodate vacation and back to school schedules!

Please submit comments by 9/19 to cingle@co.okanogan.wa.us.

Still unsure what the Comprehensive Plan is about or why it is important for our community? Read our past e-alert here to learn more.

HOW TO COMMENT:

1. Send comments to the PC before September 19. MVCC has developed simple talking points to address which Alternatives we support, what’s wrong with the Comp Plan and DEIS, and some proposed ideas to get back on track.

2. For a deeper dive into the things you love – whether it’s Dark Skies or Air Quality, Water or Recreation, or something else – choose from one or more of the 12 issue briefs below, and include some or all of the recommendations in your comments about how to improve a final plan.

Rural Designations

3. Host a Comment Writing Party! Gather a group of friends and neighbors to advocate for a good Plan. MVCC will provide tea, cookies and a staff member to answer questions and help your group make informed comments.
