Although Clark County missed the state’s Dec. 31 deadline for updating its 20-year growth plan, the county council started the new year with a pair of work sessions aimed at moving the project forward.

The second is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the sixth floor hearing room at the Public Service Center at 1300 Franklin St., Vancouver.
