Tacoma City Council to discuss future of MLK neighborhood

Tacoma City Council will hold a study session at noon on Tues., April 3 to receive an update on the Martin Luther King, Jr. Subarea Plan.

This project involves the creation of a Subarea Plan and companion EIS for the MLK neighborhood that will identify short and long term goals and objectives for this area and outline specific strategies to achieve them. More information about this project is available online at http://www.cityoftacoma.org/MLKPlan .
