Port seeks input

The Port of Bellingham has released a 17-question survey to collect public input on its six-year plan for recreational facilities in Whatcom County.

The survey, released on March 31, will be used to update the Port of Bellingham’s Recreation, Conservation and Open Space plan. The plan helps guide decisions on where to build new facilities, how to improve existing facilities and how to allocate capital investments.

Port staff are planning to host open house meetings in Bellingham and Blaine in the late summer and early fall after the survey is closed in June. At the meetings, Port staff will release the results and a draft plan. Port commissioners are likely to adopt the final plan in October, said public affairs administrator Michael Hogan.
