Clinton’s future as determined by the Island County Comprehensive Plan update will be a main topic of discussion at the next Community Council meeting.
The non-elected board of the Clinton Community Council will meet at 6 p.m. Monday, June 22 at the Clinton Community Hall. Its members have met monthly for more than a year with the goal of creating a unified voice to represent the unincorporated area to the county, state and other agencies that impact its growth and economy.
Defining Clinton stakeholders’ goals and priorities is planned for inclusion in the comp plan update — the guiding document for growth and development.
The council has also considered seeking funding for a roundabout at the intersection of Deer Lake Road and Highway 525. Members have argued that it would improve pedestrian safety by slowing ferry traffic that often speeds up the highway.
A Port of South Whidbey marketing analysis is also in the works, and Commissioner Curt Gordon, who is also a council member, will update its progress.
