There’s no doubt that Clark County’s population is growing, but how quickly will it grow in the next 20 years?
That is the question the county council and Community Development department will try to answer in the coming weeks as the county moves forward with 2025 Comprehensive Growth Management Plan update.
The county council will host a work session and public hearing this month to accept public testimony and select a 2045 population projection from the range provided by the Washington Office of Financial Management. The work session begins at 9 a.m. Wednesday in the Public Service Center sixth-floor hearing room at 1300 Franklin St., Vancouver. Staff will brief the county council during the session, but public comment will not be accepted.
The public hearing begins at 6 p.m. April 18 and will also be held at the Public Service Center. Public comment will be accepted at the hearing. Both meetings will be held in a hybrid format. Attendees can join in person or join online via WebEx. The April 18 hearing can also be watched live on CVTV channel 23/323 and will be available for viewing later at CVTV.org.
