Urban Growth Area Update Review

A reminder that there is a series of open houses next week to gather your input on the Urban Grown Area. Spokane County and its cities, towns, and SRTC are collaborating on a regional review of the Urban Growth Area (UGA) and want your input. The Urban Growth Area is the area designated to accommodate projected urban growth and development for twenty years.

The regional review will determine the Urban Growth Area’s ability to accommodate growth and development for the next twenty years. Analysis of potentially expanding or retracting the existing UGA is also a part of the review.

You're invited to learn more at a series of open houses in late October. Below that is a flyer for the open houses. Click on it to view it full size.
