Balancing Policy, Population, and Preservation @ Bellingham Yacht Club

Amidst shifting state legislation and pressing housing challenges, the Bellingham City Club presents “Balancing Policy, Population, and Preservation.” This vital program tackles the delicate balance between housing demands, community preservation, and regulatory compliance. With unprecedented mandates altering the city’s landscape, crucial questions arise about housing location, comprehensive planning, and neighborhood character preservation. Featuring distinguished speakers Blake Lyons, Garrett O’Brien, and Chris Behee, experts in urban planning, community development, and GIS, the event promises invaluable insights and actionable strategies. By fostering dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders, the program underscores the City Club’s commitment to civic engagement. Join us on April 24, 2024, at the Bellingham Yacht Club, for lunch and an unmissable discussion on shaping Bellingham’s future.
