There are several issues on the agenda of interest to the Manson community. The newest member of the council is proposing that a Community Survey be conducted and the council is asking for community input and delivery methods to reach the community. In the past, surveys have been delivered via Chelan County PUD bills.
The proposed Northshore Pathway has generated a lot of interest and while it’s a little early to be discussing ideas until a consultant has been hired to professionally look at the route, it certainly doesn’t hurt to get the communities concerns. The County will be reaching out in February or March with a forum to discuss the proposed pathway.
This project will be a collaboration between Chelan County and the City of Chelan.
On Thursday, January 18, Chelan County Hearing Examiner will hold a public hearing on the Bluewater Terrace development. There are a number of issues surrounding this development that are of concern to the Manson Community even though it is a City of Chelan development.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Manson Parks Conference Room.
