The Birch Bay Community Advisory Committee (BBCAC) is expected to discuss potential development recommendations that it would give to Whatcom County Council during the committee’s next meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 31 at Birch Bay Community Church, 4460 Bay Road.
The committee is encouraging Birch Bay community members to attend the discussion about current and future development. Also on the agenda, Bennett Knox, director of the Whatcom County Parks and Recreation Department, will provide an update on Birch Bay Beach Park. The meeting will end with a presentation from Community Attributes, a Seattle-based consulting company overseeing the Birch Bay incorporation feasibility study, on how it plans to engage with the community.
Whatcom County Council approved BBCAC last December as a way for Birch Bay residents to provide input about decisions that could affect the area.
BBCAC is separate from the Birch Bay Incorporation Association, which focuses solely on researching the feasibility of Birch Bay becoming its own city.
The committee can be reached at bbcac@whatcomcounty.us. More information about BBCAC, including meeting minutes and recordings, visit the county’s website at bit.ly/3QmWVcX.
