Engagement Opportunities
Kittitas County is entering the plan drafting phase of the Comprehensive Plan update, which will take place over the next 4-5 months. Residents are encouraged to participate in upcoming engagement events to provide their input and learn more about the process.
Plan Drafting Schedule
Throughout the drafting phase, policy reviews will be organized by element. In September, the focus will be on land use, rural areas, and housing. In October, the elements under review will include transportation, parks, capital facilities, utilities, and economic development. Finally, in November, the emphasis will shift to environment and climate and resiliency.
