San Juan County Councilmember Rick Hughes will host a Town Hall meeting at the Eastsound Fire Hall from 5-7 pm on Thursday, December 3, 2015 to present and discuss changes to the proposed Eastsound Subarea Plan.

“The Subarea Plan is a really important document that I have been working on since 2011, first as a member of the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee, and now as a Councilmember,” said Hughes. “I thought it was important to host a forum during non-working hours so that a greater number of folks could attend to learn about the Plan.” Staff from the Dept. of Community Development will be in attendance to help answer questions and take written comment.

A copy of the proposed Plan can be found on the County’s website at: https://www.sanjuanco.com/cdp/ESAP/ESAP_Home.aspx

In addition to the Town Hall meeting [on Dec. 3], the San Juan County Council will travel to Orcas Island on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 to hold a public hearing at 10:15 a.m. at the Eastsound Fire Station on the proposed Eastsound Subarea Plan.

[The Dec. 3 Town Hall will follow the meeting of the Eastsound Planning Review Committee,from 3 to 5 p.m. at the same location.]
