This project is one of 12 top priority goals for 2017-18 Council recently identified. On Nov. 18, 2016, the Washington State
Transportation Improvement Board awarded the City a $4.7 million grant to carry out the first phase of the Main Street Enhancement project.
The City planned this project quite some time ago, but it took on a greater urgency after the Main Street Fire in July 2016. Thanks to the grant award, construction starts in April. The night work you've seen happening on Main Street over the past few months was the franchise companies relocating their utilities.
