Everyone is invited to attend and participate in any or all of these forums!
The cities of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland have jointly embarked on a study to identify a process to determine the best locations for regional facilities in the Tri-Cities. The approval, planning or funding for any of these facilities have not yet been determined. This meeting is informational in nature with a request for public comment.
The Tri-Cities Oversight Committee consists of City Managers and Council members representing Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland. A total of 18 potential regional centers project concepts have been identified through this study. This includes consideration for a Regional Aquatics Center and a Performing Arts Center.
The Aquatics Center is intended to augment existing pools, provide greatly expanded indoor and outdoor leisure and competitive aquatics activities and facilitate economic development as a local and regional destination. The Performing Arts Center is intended to offer 2-3 theater venues for local performing art groups as well as touring shows and concerts, and serve as quality of life and economic development asset to the greater Tri-Cities region.
A complete copy of the study is available prior to the forum on the cities’ websites, beginning Friday February
16, 2007. The website addresses are: http://www.ci.kennewick.wa.us/, http://www.ci.pasco.wa.us/, http://www.ci.richland.wa.us/.
