Whatcom County is projected to add more than 65,000 people over the next 20 years.
That means we need a real plan for where people will live.
The Comprehensive Plan is one of the biggest tools local governments use to shape growth, housing, jobs, transportation, infrastructure, farmland, public services, and the environment.
For WHA, the housing question is central: Can we grow in a way that gives people more choices, supports affordability, and allows the next generation to build a life here?
Growth is coming. The choice is whether we plan for it well.
>> WHA encourages community members to stay engaged, follow the Comprehensive Plan process, and share specific, constructive ideas for how Whatcom County can meet this moment. Full article linked in bio.
This Wednesday, meet us for a "Tiny House Happy Hour" (601 W Holly St) at 5PM.
Hear short presentations from tiny house builders, people living in tiny homes, and Councilmember Jace Cotton about a proposed ordinance that could allow backyard tiny homes in Bellingham.
>> Come learn, ask questions, and join the conversation.
