KEA Tracks Comp Plan Process

Kootenai Environmental Alliance has been tracking the Comp Plan’s public process for several years now. Our interests , of course, are in the protection of the public health, protection of the natural environment, and the promotion of sustainable development in Kootenai County.  As of this week, the Comp Plan’s overarching goals — to direct development to areas of the county better able to sustain it, to provide greater protections to our rural areas, and to direct development away from open space and sensitive areas – are squarely before the Board of Commissioners for their decision. At their last meeting, the Commissioners decided to avoid a direct decision on the appropriate densities for rural land use. But the decision cannot be avoided forever/ Terry Harris , KEA Blog.

Question: How concerned are you about the possible changes in the county’s comprehensive plan?
