City of Cle Elum Climate Resilience Planning
With the passage of E2SHB 1181 during the 2023 Washington state legislative session, the City of Cle Elum is now required to add a Climate Change Element to its Comprehensive Plan.
The legislation creates a new mandate that spans several elements in the comprehensive plan, such as transportation, land use, parks and recreation, capital facilities and utilities, environmental, and economic development. The new Climate Change Element needs to include a resilience sub-element.
The Washington State Department of Commerce developed guidance for local governments to follow as part of this legislation. The City of Cle Elum received a $100,000 grant through the Climate Commitment Act to complete this work.
