The Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board approved $255,000 in grants for public infrastructure development and economic feasibility studies targeting business growth and job creation, and $100,000 of that money is heading Clark County’s way.
The Cowlitz Indian Tribe and the city of Washougal were each awarded $50,000 through the program, the board announced Thursday.
The Cowlitz money will go toward the Cowlitz Indian Reservation Site Plan and Development Feasibility Study to develop a master plan for approximately 156 acres of the Cowlitz Indian Reservation for future economic development. The funds were matched by $16,667 in local resources.
In Washougal, the money will be used for the Washougal Town Center Transportation Infrastructure Study, which will develop a transportation and infrastructure plan for 85 acres of vacant and redevelopment land in the Town Center District. The funds were matched by $25,000 in local resources.
