Lewis County Community Development seeks consultant to assist with comprehensive plan update

CHEHALIS - Lewis County and all cities in the county are required by the Washington State Growth Management Act to update their comprehensive plans. The Lewis County Comprehensive Plan identifies a vision for the future for the community, and establishes a set of long-term goals, policies and land use patterns for growth over a 20-year period. Updates will include changes to the zoning map and development regulations. The updates must be completed by June 2025.

In July, the county expects to receive a grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce to fund the mandated updates. The Lewis County Department of Community Development has released a Request for Proposal (RFP) to hire a consultant to assist with the update. Proposals are due on August 4.
