Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update

Take the survey to share your priorities for the next 20-years!

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 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. The updates must be completed by June 2025.
