Project Information

“The City is running several interrelated projects, all of which combine to create a vision for Port Townsend in 2045 and lay the groundwork to get there. One project is the periodic comprehensive plan update, a required new look at the community’s long-range plan and its policies for land use, transportation, housing, and more. The City is also working on its climate resilience policies, ensuring City policy adequately anticipates and acknowledges the potential impacts of climate change. This may result in specific strategies to make Port Townsend more resilient as our environment changes around us.

Another project is the active transportation plan. It will establish strategies to make it easier and safer to move around town without relying on a car.

The City is also continuing work to make housing more attainable, studying its zoning and subdivision rules to increase housing supply. The goal is making living here more affordable for residents, workers, and families.
