Pasco Downtown Revitalization Up for Discussion

Monday’s Pasco City Council meeting will include some discussion of how the city should move ahead with plans to improve and further develop downtown Pasco. The Herald published an article today that does a nice job explaining what’s at stake with this very unique part of the Tri-Cities, and some of the city’s options:

“…the city is exploring several options for its role in downtown. One would be creating a revitalization plan through the city planning commission and encouraging downtown businesses to get more involved.

More than just putting together a plan, the city may create a new organization, called a public development authority, to oversee and implement revitalization programs. An example of such an organization is the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority, which is coordinating a voter-approved $68 million project to renovate and upgrade the Seattle market starting in April.

Another kind of organization could be a community renewal authority with power to create local improvement districts, borrow money and buy and develop properties.”
