Public Participation Plan (PPP)

As per the Douglas County Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update 2026, Public Participation Plan (PPP), on November 14, staff commenced the public outreach efforts by holding two Open Houses. The first one was at the City of Bridgeport and the second one was at the Town of Mansfield. Both these outreach meetings were very productive. Due to the weekday meeting, not too many people attended the Open House, but it was made up by a focused discussion on the growth, population, housing, trends, and issues with staff, the mayor, and clerks from the City of Bridgeport and the Town of Mansfield, Washington. 

The next public outreach efforts will begin in the spring of 2025 and will include the Town of Waterville, the Town of Coulee Dam, the City of East Wenatchee, and the City of Rock Island, Washington.
