Trout Lake Subarea Comprehensive Plan

Klickitat County is in the process of updating its Comprehensive Plan. Part of the process includes creating Subarea Plans for communities such as Trout Lake. The Trout Lake Community Council, working with the County, will be involved in this process. In anticipation of that critical work, council member Pat Arnold – who has a great deal of previous experience in as a key team member for the May 7, 2010 Sub-Area Plan for Trout Lake – has prepared some introductory training documents for members of the council and the community who want to be involved in or knowledgeable about the process. This collection of training and supporting documents will grow over time. We encourage you to read them, attend council meetings, and participate in the Subarea Planning process.
