Once every 10 years, cities in Washington state review their vision for their community and how to plan and build for the next few decades. Planning for growth helps us build a city that meets the needs of the community and reflects the vision for how the community will look and function. The Redmond 2050 process is entering the home stretch, looking at the implementation of the vision and policies that have been developed through extensive community engagement over the last few years. The Planning Commission approved a recommendation for the Redmond 2050 Comprehensive Plan and related updates to development regulations at their July 31 meeting.
