Lacey Invites Community to Help Shape its Future Vision

The City of Lacey (City) invites the public to help shape the community’s future by participating in its Comprehensive Plan survey. Open through the end of the year, the survey covers topics such as quality of life, transportation, housing, climate, and more. Anyone with a connection to Lacey or its Urban Growth Area is encouraged to participate.   

The Lacey Comprehensive Plan serves as the City’s long-term blueprint for managing growth and development over the next 20 years. It addresses key areas such as neighborhoods, local businesses, traffic, public facilities, and environmental resources while balancing the built and natural environments. The City is required to update the Comprehensive Plan every 10 years, with the next update due in 2025.

“While state laws and policies guide growth, the community plays a crucial role in determining how that growth is accommodated, what it looks like, and how to minimize potential impacts,” said Hans Shepherd, Senior Planner in the Community and Economic Development Department.

Lacey community members who participate in the survey are invited to enter a drawing for one of five $100 Visa gift cards (restrictions apply). Those who have already completed the survey can still take part in the drawing by submitting their contact information.
