Public access to Governors Point one step closer as Whatcom OKs development agreement
The Bellingham Herald 12/19/2020 Denver Pratt, The Bellingham Herald (Bellingham, Wash.)
Dec. 19 A Canadian developer is one step closer to developing more than a dozen homes and a public trail and nature reserve on the undeveloped peninsula of Governors Point after the Whatcom County Council approved an agreement and several permits.
The council approved a long subdivision permit, as well as two shoreline permits, at its Dec. 8 meeting after holding a discussion about development on Governors Point in the committee of the whole meeting earlier that day.
At a special council meeting held Thursday, Dec. 17, the council also adopted a resolution, which is required by law, approving the development agreement for Governors Point. The resolution allows the Whatcom County executive to authorize the development agreement. Only council member Kathy Kershner abstained from the vote.
