PSRC is extending the region’s growth strategy to 2050.
As the region prepares to add more people and more jobs in the coming decades, VISION 2050 will provide a guide for sustaining a healthy environment, thriving communities and a strong economy.
The Growth Management Policy Board (GMPB) guided the development of VISION 2050, and on December 5, 2019, the GMPB acted unanimously to recommend VISION 2050 for adoption. The GMPB Recommended draft VISION 2050 plan (December 2019) includes information and perspectives about a changing region and reflects board-directed changes based on public comments gathered throughout the process.
On January 16, 2020, the Executive Board received the GMPB Recommended draft VISION 2050 plan (December 2019). They are currently in the process of review. VISION 2050 is scheduled to be acted on by PSRC's General Assembly in May 2020.
The Growth Management Policy Board held a special public comment period from July 19 - September 16 to hear feedback on the draft VISION 2050 plan (July 2019). PSRC also hosted workshops and open houses across the region, and tabled booths at local events. PSRC and the policy board appreciated all the feedback received.
PSRC released a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) in February 2019, followed by a 60-day comment period. Updated environmental analysis and responses to public comments will be provided in the Final SEIS in March 2020.
