Comprehensive Plan Update Project
Project Name: Thurston 2045
Thurston 2045 is the name for the county project to review and update its comprehensive plan (also called Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update). The comprehensive plan is the 20-year growth plan and policy document for unincorporated Thurston County. The plan:
- Guides future land use, housing, economic development, population and employment growth, natural resource protection, and capital facilities.
- It's due to the Board of County Commissioners in June 2025.
- The update effort kicked off with a community survey. See the results: Winter 2022 Survey: the "Thurston 2045" report.
