PRESS RELEASE - Community Invited to Three-Day Comprehensive Plan Studio

Interactive workshops will engage around future vision and scenarios

PORT TOWNSEND – The City of Port Townsend and SCJ Alliance are hosting a three-day interactive studio with City Council, City staff, and the community to begin fleshing out the details of the 20-year comprehensive plan. The event will shape the City’s long-term goals, including how policies are drafted for the plan. Future public events will continue to build on these goals.

All are invited from July 22 to 24 at the Cotton Building at 607 Water Street in Port Townsend for an opportunity to co-create the future of the city.
