Mount Vernon City Council Rejects Mayor's UGA Expansion Plans

Thank you to everyone who wrote their city council representative and packed the hearing room on May 28, and to the 20 well-prepared farmers, residents and others who spoke passionately in opposition to the City's desire to apply to Skagit County for Urban Growth Area expansion on agricultural lands. The City Council voted 6 - 1 to reject the plan for at least a year.Your voice made the difference, and SPF appreciates your support!
