The Kingston Citizens’ Advisory Council invites and encourages the public to participate in workgroups to review aspects of the Kingston Sub-Area Plan and create a list of prioritized, actionable items for Kitsap County to follow through on with the support of the community.Workgroups will discuss guidelines and projected developments of the sub-area plan, a document created by the county with the help of community members that spells out policy elements for planning, population, transportation, land use, the environment and supporting facilities.

KCAC will feature presentations at its April and May regular meetings by the individual workgroups reviewing findings for the council. A final workgroup will be held in late spring to compile a final list of items that will be forwarded to county commissioners.

On March 11, a workgroup discussed urban residential, commercial and industrial land use and natural systems.

The final workgroup meets 7-9 p.m. April 9 at the Kingston Community Center, to discuss: ways to improve and encourage economic development opportunities and downtown revitalization; improving port facilities and waterfront; and transportation.

“Kingston’s Economic Development,” the results of this workshop, will be presented at the KCAC meeting at 7 p.m. May 7 in the Kingston Community Center.

To participate in workgroups and for more information, contact KCAC co-chair Greg Platz at (360) 509-3181.
