MOSES LAKE — Grant County is working on its 10-year comprehensive plan, which will impact policies in the next 20 years in the county. Last night, the county hosted the first of three meetings in Moses Lake for citizens to ask questions and provide feedback for the update. Future meetings will happen in Royal City and Mattawa; however, dates are not finalized yet.
“People should care because it affects the entire future of their lives,” County Commissioner Rob Jones said. “Housing, industry, commercial building, the planning of all of that.”
More information and surveys for citizen feedback can be found at GrantCountyWaCompPlan.com.
