Successful regional planning begins and ends with citizen participation. Recognizing the complexity of the issues and that public meetings aren't for everyone, the Growth Forum set up its own downtown “Drop-In Center” – a place where folks learned about Bellingham’s growth-related issues, got document copies, asked questions, voiced their ideas, and much more. The Drop-In Center is officially closed now, but you may still find our staffer, Mark Hamilton available at the center through November. Call for an appointment if you need anything else!
