PRESS RELEASE - Port Townsend Golf Course and Mountain View Commons Concept Planning Effort

PORT TOWNSEND, Washington – The City of Port Townsend will host Public Open House #2 for the Port Townsend Golf Course and Mountain View Commons Concept Planning Effort on Wednesday, April 26th from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. at Fort Worden Commons, 210 Battery Way, Port Townsend WA 98368. This meeting will summarize public feedback received to date and share design concepts based on community priorities. An online version of the Open House will be held Monday, May 1st from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m.

This planning effort began in early 2020 following the development of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan (PROS) which showed community desire to explore different uses for the golf course property owned by the City. In November 2020, City Council unanimously directed staff to engage the community to explore the feasibility of alternate uses, in addition to continued use for golf. Given the proximity of the Mountain View Commons Campus, it is the City’s interest to explore complementary uses and plan for this site as well.
