Whatcom County government is offering people a unique opportunity to learn about projects and meet the people in charge of the county’s daily operations – from installing stop signs to overseeing the jail.
The open house will be held 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 3 at the Whatcom County Courthouse, 311 Grand Avenue, Bellingham. The county hopes for this to become an annual event, according to its July 29 news release.
The event will provide a space for county staff to discuss everything from construction projects to the county budget and updates on the new jail and behavioral health facility. Elected officials will also be available to hear from community members.
“People connect best when they meet face-to-face and talk as neighbors,” wrote county executive Satpal Sidhu in a statement. “We are opening the doors and inviting you to learn more about the work we are doing on your behalf.”
