Staff said the Block Party is scheduled for May 18 from 1 to 6 p.m., using the same four blocks from Fourth Street to Whitman. A Market in the Park will start May 29 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the renovated Lions Park; staff said a trout stocking of the pond is planned the same day and that Hop Thief will run a beer-and-wine garden. Movies at the Park will run every third Saturday at sundown beginning June 21 at Lions Park; films listed included titles on June 21, July 12, Aug. 2, Aug. 23 and Sept. 13 in the sequence provided by staff.

Staff previewed Freedom Fest for June 29 from 6 to 10 p.m. at College Place High School with live music, food vendors and a kids’ zone; the fireworks display, staff said, will be funded largely by REA. An \"Artful Celebration\" event is being planned with Co Walla Walla and Carnegie Picture Labs and has been moved to Oct. 11 to allow additional coordination. Staff also listed a trunk-or-treat event Oct. 31 and a Winterfest in December featuring a tree lighting, Santa and a lighted parade. Staff said new street banners for College Avenue and an updated events section on the city website are forthcoming.

Why this matters: staff’s schedule and vendor/partner details help residents and local organizations plan participation and allow the city to coordinate permits, public safety coverage and vendor logistics.

Ending: Staff framed the update as informational; no formal actions were taken.","Staff presented a schedule of community events for 2025 including a Block Party on May 18, a Market in the Park beginning May 29 at Lions Park, a Movies at the Park series starting June 21, Freedom Fest on June 29 with fireworks, and several fall and winter events.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6086414,"Staff: Mill Creek, Tad Sherman apartments and Lakeside moving forward; developer interest near Martin Field",213,2076000,2289000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2896164-74fd8e93c46945825ad7f9de6f2c89e1&start=2076&end=2289","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2896164-74fd8e93c46945825ad7f9de6f2c89e1/thumbnail_2076000.jpg","/articles/6086414/College-Place/Walla-Walla-County/Washington/Staff-Mill-Creek-Tad-Sherman-apartments-and-Lakeside-moving-forward-developer-interest-near-Martin-Field","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6086414-989f48e7cd264363efa19adf49bebd4b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191024&Signature=AT1-051VsuVf1mXMFzbX5BTQWWP4HGPQ4gfFPc5rAMKnV3T1MBB7CxC78lacFXZkUPs79eQ-niEfF8WERt8EzEw~IG2AKgMhSvbGxPVWxXSw2eMnTAQYdt8t46JHOov9Y0FNuNxZ2BG1l6kIOHWVhflLwHYoM9OS9hqA3jvknEbf4oJmjc31xzhxLZap4qrM4oZwJJLpiYeY8dfWcL2nSjCmMU2fx2461u1gLPG9MxAzL~D~AIbLfZ~j1Eq~pJLNqTp3HmWyniIGHTvehPpCpLN4gs0Twn9moE74RXHynlQD-2NTMZ9Xx6Mfa6Njs4QK5-Mi-yq~Xv-nZeWA1ezyrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","College Place — At the Economic Development and Tourism Commission meeting staff reported ongoing local development activity, including single-family permits in Mill Creek, near-complete apartment buildings within the Tad Sherman project, and pending reports for the Lakeside development.

Planning staff member Mr. Rizzatella said builders are beginning to pull permits for the Mill Creek phase in the Villages of Garrison Creek and that two of five Tad Sherman apartment buildings are nearly ready for occupancy. \"Two of the five buildings are almost ready for occupancy, so they'll come online soon,\" he said.

Staff also said the final reports for the Lakeside development are still pending with the developer and noted that the city has shared the Martin Field study with Terragon, a developer that has discussed hangars adjacent to the runway, industrial uses along Whitman Drive and residential parcels south of the airfield. Rizzatella said Terragon has shown interest in pursuing investment adjacent to the airfield and in coordinating development moves in subsequent years.

Why this matters: these items indicate near-term increases in housing stock and ongoing developer engagement around the Martin Field area, which could influence timing and demand assumptions in the commission's planning work.

Ending: Staff did not allocate funding or take binding actions on these projects at the meeting; updates were informational.","City planning staff reported permit activity for Mill Creek and progress on apartment buildings in the Tad Sherman development; staff also said the Lakeside project is awaiting final reports and that developer Terragon has been engaged on potential Martin Field-area investment.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6086419,"Consultant: Martin Field study narrows 240-acre area to 64.5 developable acres; infrastructure could cost about $24 million",1696,999000,2695000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2896164-74fd8e93c46945825ad7f9de6f2c89e1&start=999&end=2695","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2896164-74fd8e93c46945825ad7f9de6f2c89e1/thumbnail_999000.jpg","/articles/6086419/College-Place/Walla-Walla-County/Washington/Consultant-Martin-Field-study-narrows-240-acre-area-to-645-developable-acres-infrastructure-could-cost-about-24-million","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6086419-21a11ee5371c7367b1b581162b246b32/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191024&Signature=SkqHRu6yEvtlbdUBI0NOXHhGKKLh8oHrumJoPlfyzSoovsr62IznxsLBRTCeL-0Hx5JHudsQcUglAanZoxYVbAfWbMDheykYZ7ebarmh8wG8j2dSdlQFHNIVIuAc2H-QRkSTSRh56P9CrP8tm75IAnxXV4nkSpsLy6Wz8Jav7LVZkrRD1VxtgC9qBsPZ~TXjPaq1lILzAykssgX63j3ICz-Fh3Zug9rUcF4PlaLbO~fzdJojzHz3fdZsymPkP3XBE-I6wg-FVDVGjUxdgj1nNGD~6k-pPvoSLYWb262TnfMYoktgnvtK2e8vYK~Ly6LB5AdvfXPrWWbUbQE9bcsPQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","College Place — The Economic Development and Tourism Commission on a recent meeting heard a final presentation on the Martin Field planning and economic feasibility study from consultant Mr. Hoppe, who said roughly 64.5 acres of the roughly 240-acre study area appear suitable for industrial development and that full infrastructure improvements could total about $24 million.

The study, Hoppe said, produced a concept plan showing about 29 industrial lots and recommended a suite of infrastructure investments — internal roads, sewer and water extensions, stormwater work and dry utilities — to make the parcels marketable to users. \"We ended up with 64 and a half acres,\" Hoppe said during the presentation.

Why this matters: the city must decide whether to invest in public infrastructure to attract industrial users or rely on developers to extend roads and utilities, a choice that affects timing, cost to taxpayers and the marketability of sites near the airfield. The consultant recommended that the city pursue funding options and consider regulatory measures that protect airport operations.

Key findings and figures from the presentation: the consultant trimmed the study area mainly because portions were planned or zoned residential, contained creek setbacks, or fell inside airport operational zones. The report's high-level cost summary Hoppe presented included about $4 million for internal road network construction, roughly $7 million in sanitary sewer work (including a proposed lift station and force main), about $9 million for potable water (including a loop tying into a proposed reservoir), roughly $800,000 for stormwater, about $2 million for dry utilities and around $500,000 in earthwork — producing an approximate full-build subtotal near $24 million. Hoppe described that total as a conservative, full-build estimate and noted that development typically phases over years and that some costs can be shifted to developers.

On transportation and site capacity, Hoppe reported that the intersections evaluated for existing and 20-year \"build\" conditions have adequate lane capacity and turning movements for the kinds of truck and industrial traffic the study anticipates, though he recommended a later, separate pavement-condition assessment to confirm whether surface thicknesses can handle higher truck volumes.

Airport considerations: the study included an airspace/surface evaluation and recommended the city consider an airport overlay zone to preserve Martin Field operations. Hoppe said the airport does not currently have an overlay zone and described how such zoning can limit certain uses (for example, schools or hospitals) in defined approach and departure zones while allowing more intensive development further from runways.

Next steps Hoppe recommended included further discussion of an airport overlay zone with the county, a pavement-condition review for roads like Last Chance, pursuit of identified grants and financing tools, and coordination with potential developers to sequence infrastructure construction. Planning staff, Mr. Rizzatella said later during staff reports, have shared the report with the developer Terragon, which has previously shown interest in adjacent hangar and industrial development and in residential parcels to the south of the airfield.

The consultant said he will distribute the slide deck and final report to city staff for internal review and that the commission is scheduled to review and consider a recommendation to city council at a future meeting.

Ending: Commission members did not take formal action on the study at the meeting; the consultant and staff said the draft report will be circulated and a recommendation is expected at the commission's next meeting.","A consultant told the Economic Development and Tourism Commission that of the roughly 240 acres studied around Martin Field, about 64.5 acres are suitable for industrial development; full infrastructure build-out is estimated at roughly $24 million and city options include requiring developers to build extensions or seeking grants.","actionData","errors"]
