TOWN MEETING 
Join your neighbors in shaping Port Townsend's Future!

 Topic: Planning for the Next 20 Years (2016-2036)
 
The City of Port Townsend is in the process of conducting a "periodic update" to its comprehensive plan and development regulations.  This is a 20-year planning document that sets the framework for the physical, social, and economic development of the City.  In addition to updating to meet state mandated requirements, this is a great opportunity for us to check in with the public on key issues and potential policy responses.  What are the most pressing issues facing our community?  How can we address them?  The input gathered from the Town Meeting will help form the work program for 2016 and beyond.
 
Location:              Fort Worden Commons
Date:                     June 24, 2015
Doors Open:           5:30 pm
