A series of virtual public meetings is underway this fall to provide a forum for discussion of Kitsap County's update to the Comprehensive Plan, a guide addressing population and job growth, environmental protection and infrastructure improvements and how these will impact our communities and livelihoods.?

Each meeting begins at 6 p.m. on the following dates:

• Tuesday, Sept. 13 ? Land Use and Economic Development
• Tuesday, Sept. 27 ? Housing
• Tuesday, Oct. 11 ? Environmental and Climate Change
• Wednesday, Oct. 19 ? Silverdale Regional Center
• Tuesday, Oct. 25 ? Transportation and Capital Facilities

Go to the project website at kcowa.us/compplan for more information and links to join these virtual meetings. If you missed a past meeting, recordings are available at this website.

Each meeting includes a presentation and then attendees can choose to join interactive break-out groups to share their thoughts on issues and opportunities in Kitsap related to the topic of the evening. These may be shared verbally, through facilitated discussion or written in the chat option of the Zoom meeting.
