Vancouver WA – An open house dealing with rural lands will be held Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the Dollars Corner fire station, 21609 N.E. 72nd Ave. (Fire District 11). The open house begins at 6 p.m.
The Board of Clark County Commissioners convened a rural lands task force in June 2009 to create recommendations to the Board on the following specific issues:
· Rural center economic development opportunities
· Maintenance of farming and forestry operations
· Rural economic development opportunities
· Rural areas that are next to develop (future urban reserve areas)
· Rural areas where natural landscapes dominate over the built environment.
The task force has met 11 times. The discussions so far have been about the potential for increasing densities and economic opportunities in rural centers, about how best to preserve agricultural activities, and about the county’s forest and mining policies. The purpose of the open house is to ask the public for ideas on these and any other topics affecting rural areas in the county.
The task force members are Ginger Burr, Sharon Bussler, Ingrid Dankmeyer, Dan Dupuis, Russ Grattan, Doug Hagedorn, David Halme, Rocque Merritt, Monty Multanen, Mike Posey, Danny Walsh, Byron Woltersdorf, Bill Zimmerman, and Robert Zumstein.
