Hague leads effort to transfer development rights to Bel-Red Corridor

The city of Bellevue is closer to converting portions of an urban corridor into green space with today’s transfer by the Metropolitan King County Council of the development rights in priority rural and resource areas in what’s known as the Bel-Red Subarea.
