Residents and business owners in the Smokey Point area are invited to find out more about the city's plans for the area, and share their ideas and comments before policies are finalized.

The City of Arlington is hosting a public meeting and workshop on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at 6 p.m. at the Stillaguamish Senior Center, located at 18308 Smokey Point Blvd.

City officials will be on hand for discussions of the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program for the West Arlington Sub-Area, which includes the neighborhoods of Smokey Point, West Bluff and Island Crossing within the city limits.

The public will have opportunity to review and comment on the policies, as well as graphics and maps, developed since the last public meeting in May 2011.
