Hotel and conference center areas.
The downtown
project is expected to cost about $500,000, with the
utility contributing up to $100,000 of that cost.
The second
project covers a primary transmission line running
nearly a mile from Highway 14 along the location of
SE 192nd Avenue. Cost of that project is $1.5
million, with the utility providing up to one-third
of the cost. SE 192nd Avenue will connect SE 34th
Street and Highway 14.
