PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWS STRATEGIC PLAN JAN. 27

The Clatsop County Planning Commission will hold a public workshop on the draft Clatsop County Strategic Plan on Friday, Jan. 27 beginning at 1:30 p.m. at 800 Exchange, Suite 430, Astoria.

The strategic plan is a compilation of 42 capital, planning and other major projects envisioned for the county.

To view the draft strategic plan and planning commission workshop agenda go to the Land Use Planning page at www.co.clatsop.or.us.

The Jan. 27 event is not a public hearing but the planning commission chairperson may take public comment at the panel’s discretion.

Development of the plan, a key goal of the board of commissioners, is intended to provide a framework for planning and pursuing the various major projects proposed by the county. The document lists projects already underway, including the Ensign Lane extension at the North Coast Business Park, Highway 101 flooding solution and Emergency Operations Center addition, as well as future initiatives such as the county comprehensive plan update, Clatsop Plains wastewater solution and multi-agency public works facility. The plan also includes the projects’ cost, potential funding sources and estimated time for completion.

The plan will go before the county board of commissioners, who will prioritize the projects under multiple criteria including public need, funding availability and cost/benefit review.
