Comprehensive Plan and CAMA Land Use Plan Update

The City of Washington updated its existing Comprehensive Plan and CAMA Land Use Plan through community engagement. This combined Comprehensive Plan and CAMA Land Use Plan is forward-thinking and aligns with the City’s vision and goals. It serves as a guide for elected and appointed officials making significant land use decisions, decisions that will impact the entire community. The development of this Plan was driven by the community and includes the required elements of a CAMA Land Use Plan as well as local elements that preserve community character.
