Critical Issues the 2024 Plan Update Addresses
The 2024 update of the Tukwila’s Comprehensive Plan is similar to the 2015 Plan, however, this Plan update focuses on several issues that will be critical to the community over the next 20 years:
HOUSING – how can the City support and encourage the development of affordable housing that addresses the needs of all Tukwila’s residents – at all income levels, for families of all sizes, for specialized needs, etc.
CLIMATE CHANGE & COMMUNITY RESILIENCE – how can the City and community adopt practices and implement procedures and projects that protect our quality of life as environmental conditions change. As a part of this issue, how can we protect and enhance our natural resources and environment so future generations can also enjoy these special parts of Tukwila.
EQUITY – It is important that City resources and services support all parts of the community. The Plan will help ensure that Equity is considered as the City selects its priorities. For this reason, the City is prioritizing ensuring that all communities within the City have the opportunity to share their ideas about what Tukwila should look like in the future.
