VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Works, Parks and Lands, is completing a multiyear process to develop a sustainability plan for the 78th Street Heritage Farm. The plan guides how the division will implement the site’s master plan while increasing public access and improving the site’s financial sustainability. The plan was developed with participation of a steering committee and community input. The final plan will be considered by the County Council for approval.
The community is invited to learn more about the plan at an open house, 6 to 8 p.m. Wed., Jan. 24. A presentation from 6:30 to 7 p.m. will share information about the plan’s development and final draft. Light refreshments will be provided. Residents can attend in person or online. The in person open house will be in the commons of Minnehaha Elementary School at 2800 NE 54th Street. Signage will direct attendees to enter through the school’s north entrance. In addition to the school’s ADA parking spaces, additional spaces will be reserved for attendees with mobility limitations. An executive summary of the plan will be available in Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian. Meeting interpretation, additional translation and other accommodations can be requested by contacting Lynde Wallick, project manager, at lynde.wallick@clark.wa.gov or (564) 397-5882.
To participate online via Webex, residents can register on the project webpage. An email reminder with a one-click link to join the meeting will be sent to registrants. Registration is not required.
A recording of the presentation, presentation slides and handouts will be posted to the project webpage within five business days of the open house.
A copy of the final draft plan will be posted on the project webpage by Jan. 17. A 30-day comment period about the plan will be open Jan. 24 through Feb. 23. Instructions for submitting comments are on the project webpage.
