County board to consider $589K request for waterfront center costs

Published 1:30 am Wednesday, December 25, 2019

The Clallam County Opportunity Fund Board will consider a funding request from the City of Port Angeles at a special meeting set for 2-4 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 30, at the Vern Burton Conference Center Room, 308 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.

Port Angeles city officials are requesting $589,472.71 in grant dollars from the fund for the Port Angeles Waterfront Center project.

Funds would be used to: connect the center with sewer, water and electricity; create curb cutouts for buses and automobiles; provide direct access from the Waterfront Campus to the Olympic Discovery Trail; allow for a transformer upgrade and relocation within the public realm of the greater Pebble Beach Park, and allow installation of lighted pedestrian crosswalk signs to address pedestrian and driver safety needs on West Front Street.

Following the presentation, the board may make a recommendation to the Clallam Board of County Commissioners regarding the request.
