10/02/2024 - Upcoming Open House for City’s Comprehensive Plan Climate Chapter

Upcoming Open House for City's Comprehensive Plan Climate Chapter

The City of Olympia is updating its Comprehensive Plan (Olympia 2045) and needs your help to set the direction for the Climate Action & Resilience Chapter.

Join us on Wednesday, October 16, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., for a public open house on the Comprehensive Plan's new Climate Chapter. The open house will be in Multipurpose Room B at The Olympia Center, 222 Columbia St. NW. There will be a brief presentation and an opportunity to provide input to help us shape our new chapter.

Register here to join!

This new chapter is being developed by a cross-departmental staff team with community guidance and feedback and will address the following objectives:
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and vehicle miles traveled.
  • Improve climate preparedness, response and recovery efforts to enhance resiliency and avoid the adverse impacts of climate change.
  • Prioritize co-benefits to the community with an emphasis on vulnerable populations and overburdened communities who suffer disproportionately from environmental harms and climate-exacerbated hazards.
To learn more about the project, please visit the Engage Olympia project page or submit an email request to [email protected] to become a "party of record" for the Comprehensive Plan update process.
