Shorelines Update Before Joint Committees

Business and industry turned out aplenty for a joint Tacoma City Council committees (Economic Development and Environment & Public Works) meeting about the update of Tacoma’s Shoreline Master Program.

Spokesperson for the Chamber, its Chairman Toby Murray, comments here, outlined the objectives of the Chamber in the retention, expansion and diversification of businesses and industries in our community. He was joined in a small group presentation by individual businesses and organizations who expressed their specific variety of concerns and/or a preference for a collaborative and comprehensive approach to the shorelines update process.

Numerous speakers joined in the opportunity for speaking to Tacoma Councilmembers who comprise their committees, including representatives for the Foss Waterway Business Group, the Port of Tacoma and additional businesses and industries.
