Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update
Beginning July 2023, Lewis County and all cities in the county are required by the Washington State Growth Management Act to update their comprehensive plans. Lewis County is coordinating this effort through the Planned Growth Committee. Updates will include changes to the zoning map and development regulations. The updates must be completed by June 2025. You can review the current Lewis County Comprehensive Plan online.The Comprehensive Plan sets goals and policies that impact all of Lewis County. The plan includes goals for housing, transportation, economic development, services (e.g., fire districts), land use and zoning, agriculture and forestry, recreation and the environment.
Get Involved
The “periodic update” is a time to update the goals and policies and staff need input from the community. Lewis County Community Development staff will provide opportunities throughout the county and online to provide input into the project. Please subscribe to the Lewis County Planning Announcements to receive notifications about upcoming opportunities.
