County signs Opportunity Fund agreement to support A‑Street wastewater expansion in Port Angeles
Summary
Clallam County approved an Opportunity Fund grant agreement with the City of Port Angeles to fund A‑Street wastewater infrastructure improvements, a project county staff says will create sewer capacity for future households.
Clallam County commissioners approved an Opportunity Fund grant agreement on July 15 that provides $1,393,167 to the City of Port Angeles for the A‑Street wastewater infrastructure project.
County staff said the grant supports core infrastructure needed for economic development. The city told the county the project will upgrade and expand sewer capacity in the western end of Port Angeles and estimated the work should accommodate about 1,400 additional households by 2045.
The board approved the agreement by motion and voice vote after staff described the Opportunity Fund’s purpose as supporting infrastructure critical to local economic development.
Why it matters: expanding sewer capacity can enable housing and commercial development; the county described Opportunity Fund grants as focused on projects that remove infrastructure constraints to growth.
What’s next: county staff and the City of Port Angeles will implement the grant agreement and proceed with design and construction steps as funding and approvals allow.
