The Washington State Department of Commerce recently released the Washington State Guidebook on Military and Community Compatibility, a technical guide to land use planning surrounding military installations. The guidebook is designed for professional planners and municipalities, but also promotes public awareness about the importance of coordinated civilian-military planning processes.
The guidebook reflects public input gleaned during community workshops, technical focus groups, and a stakeholder advisory committee throughout 2018, as well as a 30-day public comment period on a draft completed in April 2019.
