NEW GROWTH POLICY WORK SESSIONS ADDED!

At the December 19, 2024 Community Development Board Work Session, the Board expressed concerns that a monthly one hour work session was an insufficient time allotment for the level of discussion necessary for Vision Whitefish 2045. The Board delayed further discussion of plan sections to ascertain how work sessions and incorporation of public comment could occur moving forward.

At the January 16, 2025 work session, the Board decided to add an extra work session intended solely for discussions regarding Vision Whitefish 2045. This would give the Board sufficient time to consider all plan text, engage in robust discussion, and invite public comment without the need to end the work session at 6PM in order to continue forward with other items on the regular Community Development Board agenda (such as land use proposals). The Board has scheduled specific Vision Whitefish 2045 work sessions on every Wednesday the day before each regular Community Development Board meetings on the Third Thursday of every month. The first additional work session will be WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19 at 5PM. These work sessions are anticipated to continue for the duration of the plan update process. A Vision Whitefish 2045 work session is still scheduled at 5PM before the regular Thursday, February 20 Community Development Board meeting.
