PROSSER, Wash. (AP) — Construction is expected to start soon on the next phase of a $6 million center at Prosser to promote Washington wines and food products.
The Tri-City Herald reports bids will be opened Wednesday for an outdoor event facility at the center overlooking the Yakima River. It’s named for Washington State University scientist Walter Clore who pioneered the development of the wine industry in the state.
Executive Director Marv Kinney says the center will be a wine-tasting stop for tourists while supporting the work of the proposed wine science center at WSU Tri-Cities and the WSU Research and Extension Center in Prosser.
