Forest Drive/Eastport Sector Study
ECA response to the Sector Study.
The City has prepared a plan for development along the Forest Drive Corridor and in Eastport. The plan, called a Sector Study, identifies a significant amount of new residential and commercial development over the next decade. In March, the City Council will vote on whether to approve the Sector Study and accept it as part of the City's long-range Comprehensive Plan.
