Spokane County Spotlight to feature Realtors and builders on housing market, comp plan and construction

Spokane County Commissioner Al French announced on Spokane County Spotlight that the program will bring together industry representatives to discuss housing issues affecting the county. "We'll discuss the current housing market, updating the comprehensive plan, and what may be in store for Spokane County's residential construction," French said.

French identified Darren Watkins, Governmental Affairs Director for the Spokane Realtors, and Isaiah Payne, public affairs and strategic officer for the Spokane Home Builders Association, as the episode's guests. The conversation, as previewed by French, will center on three items: conditions in the local housing market, proposed updates to Spokane County's comprehensive plan, and the outlook for residential construction across the county.

The preview did not include a broadcast date or specific policy proposals; French only invited viewers to "join us for Spokane County Spotlight on KSPS World." The program appears intended to provide context and perspectives from realtor and builder organizations on issues that affect housing supply and local planning decisions. No formal county actions or votes were announced during the preview.
