Clark County Planning Commission Recommends Growth Plan Updates for Camas, Ridgefield…
What happened
Clark County is currently updating its 20-year comprehensive growth plan, a process that began in early 2023. The planning commission recommended several key changes, including approving the expansion of urban growth boundaries for Battle Ground and Camas. The commission also recommended zoning changes to allow for employment growth in La Center and housing/job growth in Ridgefield. The county council will hold a public hearing on the plan on October 1.
