ENGAGE Lincoln City
WELCOME!
ENGAGE Lincoln City is a collaboration of City staff, elected officials, and community members to accomplish the goal of involving more people in the decisions that impact them. This means improving our COMMUNICATION, becoming better LISTENERS, and providing more opportunities to work TOGETHER. Our first goal is to create a written plan to guide our work moving forward, and WE WANT YOUR HELP in crafting this plan.
ENGAGE Lincoln City is part of the implementation of the Lincoln City Comprehensive Plan which provides a vision for the community to the year 2043 and ensures compliance with Oregon’s 19 Statewide Planning Goals. The Citizen Involvement goal crafted by the Planning Commission is to: Provide opportunities for all Lincoln City residents to learn about and be engaged in all phases of the land use planning process; ensure learning and engagement activities are accessible, equitable, and inclusive.
Use this site to learn more, communicate with City staff, and review relevant documents. So make sure you start by signing up for project updates by saying loud and clear: COUNT ME IN!
