Tacoma: McKinley Hill Neighborhood Plan Recommendations Released
Washingtoner/10211742

~ On Tuesday, March 21, the City of Tacoma will present the McKinley Hill Neighborhood Plan for adoption during the City Council Meeting at 5 p.m. in Council Chambers. This plan is the first Neighborhood Plan through the City's Neighborhood Planning Program, which was launched in January 2022 and officially funded for continuation in the 2023-2024 biennium budget.

The plan was developed in partnership with McKinley Hill neighbors after more than a year of community engagement, including steering groups, committees, surveys, community events and action mapping. The plan outlines specific goals, recommendations and actions for the City and its partners to support implementation of the community's vision of the future of McKinley Hill.

Principal Planner Lauren Hoogkamer said "We are excited that this project had such a high level of engagement with the community, which really included co-creating the vision and plan. We are proud of the work we have done with the community and already working with our partners to support implementation."

Once adopted by City Council as an implementation strategy of the One Tacoma Comprehensive Plan, implementation of recommended goals and actions will continue to move forward. The Neighborhood Planning Program supports implementation of larger planning initiatives and goals for equitable planning and development services at a grassroots level to help communities create strong, vibrant and diverse neighborhoods.

The program currently includes McKinley Hill and Proctor neighborhoods; additional neighborhoods will be announced later in 2023. For more information about Long Range Planning Division or Neighborhood Planning Program visit cityoftacoma.org/PDS.
