SKAGIT COUNTY — On Tue., Feb. 8 from 5 to 7 p.m., Envision Skagit 2060 will hold a community meeting in Concrete to gain public input on the future of Skagit County. The meeting will be held in the Commons room at Concrete High School.

Like other outreach efforts the group has held elsewhere in the county, the meeting is an opportunity for citizens to learn about Envision Skagit 2060, share their vision, ask questions, and get involved in shaping the future of Skagit Valley.

After a brief presentation on the Envision Skagit 2060 project and its progress by Envision Skagit Citizen Committee members and project staff, the meeting will open up for a comment period where community members can voice their vision for the future of Skagit Valley.

More community meetings will be scheduled and announced in the near future.

Envision Skagit 2060 is a cooperative community effort designed to help shape Skagit Valley for the next 50 years. The project’s Citizen Committee will develop and recommend a broadly supported, 50-year plan for Skagit Valley by drawing on community input and public recommendations.
