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.
