Stakeholders Kittitas County has identified categories of key stakeholders whose participation in the development of the Comprehensive Plan update is desired. It is important to note that even with the best intentions of the County to initially identify key stakeholders, that there are inevitably other parties, groups, organizations, members of the public, etc., who are inadvertently not represented on the initial list but whose participation is important.
