About the Plan
On May 9, 2017 the Tacoma City Council adopted Resolution No. 39723 initiating a subarea planning process for the Port of Tacoma/Tideflats.
Subarea planning allows for the establishment of a shared, long-term vision, and a more coordinated approach to development, environmental review, and strategic capital investments in a focused area. Completion of a subarea plan will support the ongoing eligibility for and prioritization of transportation funding in the Port of Tacoma Manufacturing/Industrial Center.

Current Status
The City is currently in discussions with the Port of Tacoma and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians regarding an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) that would outline the project partnership, including roles of the City, the Port, and the Puyallup Tribe, and responsibilities and funding for the project.
The subarea planning process is scheduled to begin in Fall/Winter 2017 with a Request for Proposals for consultant services to support the planning effort, upon completion of the ILA.
