PORT TOWNSEND — Potential development of nine properties is being considered by Port of Port Townsend commissioners as part the agency’s master planning.

Updating of what the Port calls its Comprehensive Scheme is required by state law. The scheme was first adopted in 1982.

Commissioners will prioritize the list and choose a preferred alternative during an Aug. 19 meeting, according to Commissioner Herb Beck.

There is an open house for the public to review the plan at 3 p.m. today at Quilcene Yacht Club on Linger Longer Road.

The public review process took Beck and Commissioners Conrad Pirner and Bob Sokol to the Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce earlier this week, when they reviewed the process of completing the scheme.

Sokol said some of the alternatives carry price tags “that would knock your socks off,” but said the Port will lease land to companies which will build structures suggested in the various alternatives.
