Now posted: County Comprehensive Plan Comments sent to Council / Noisy Waters Northwest
Update, February 19, 2016: In an effort to make information more easily accessible to the public, Whatcom County staff has been working on adjusting their method of posting “2016 County Council Comp Plan and UGA Comments.” The information below is in reference to the comments as they were posted on the county website from January 29, 2016 to February 18, 2016. I am leaving this posted since the excerpts from the material of people who submitted comments may still be useful to people. And perhaps some record of how the comments were originally presented will be of some importance in the future. I will do another post about the current way the comments are posted very soon.
