Envision Skagit 2060 community meeting in La Conner, February 28

SKAGIT COUNTY - On Monday, February 28, Envision Skagit 2060 will hold a community meeting in La Conner to gain public input on the future of Skagit County. The meeting will take place from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. at the La Conner Maple Hall located at 108 Commercial, La Conner. The public is encouraged to attend and learn about Envision Skagit 2060, share visions, ask questions, and get involved in shaping the future of Skagit Valley.

After a brief presentation on the Envision Skagit 2060 project and its progress, the meeting will open up for a comment period where the community can voice their vision for the future of Skagit Valley. Public input is a large part of the Envision Skagit 2060 process and vital to shaping the Citizen Committee's recommendations for the future of Skagit Valley.

Envision Skagit 2060 is a cooperative community effort designed to help shape Skagit Valley for the next 50 years. The project's Citizen Committee will develop and recommend a broadly-supported 50-year plan for Skagit Valley by drawing on broad community input and public recommendations.
