Recent Progress
Design work continues. An open house was held April 29, 2009. The design team spoke with many local business owners and other interested citizens. The design is also working with the City of Wenatchee on drainage facility design which will ultimately be maintained by them. R/W Plan Approval, NEPA, and Design Approval are scheduled to be completed in June 2009.
