Three Mayors Propose Smart Growth Plan for Clark County

Ridgefield, La Center, and Camas mayors unite behind Transfer of Development Rights program that could save Clark County's vanishing farmland while supporting responsible urban growth. Their collaborative solution addresses the county's loss of 32% of agricultural acreage since 1992, offering farmers cash for development rights while directing density to areas with proper infrastructure. The Growth Management Act update presents a rare window for this market-based approach that's already working in two dozen Washington jurisdictions. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-growing-pains-and-green-gains-a-smarter-path-for-clark-county/ #ClarkCounty #GrowthPlanning #Farmland #TDR #ResponsibleGrowth #UrbanPlanning #Agriculture #Housing #EconomicDevelopment #PacificNorthwest
