Commissioners approve framework for $10.2 million North Lewis County industrial access funding
Summary
Lewis County commissioners approved a resolution defining how about $10.2 million proposed in the state transportation budget would be managed for the North Lewis County Industrial Access program, in cooperation with the City of Centralia.
Lewis County commissioners approved a resolution on May 20 to set parameters for roughly $10,200,000 proposed in the state transportation budget for the North Lewis County Industrial Access program.
Jeff Soderquist, Lewis County public works director, told the commission the resolution captures priorities, estimated costs and the cooperative approach with the City of Centralia. "This resolution is defining parameters for the 10.2 that is currently...proposed in the state transportation budget for the North Lewis County Industrial Access program," Soderquist said.
Why it matters: The funding is intended to support industrial access improvements in North Lewis County. The resolution documents priorities and the working relationship between county and city staff so design and expenditures proceed according to local expectations.
Details and process: Soderquist said county staff and Centralia have outlined rough estimated costs and directions for how the $10.2 million would be spent. The resolution is intended to provide clarity about cooperative processes going forward; no detailed project-level appropriation or contract award was announced at the meeting.
Action taken: The board moved and seconded approval of a package of deliberation items, including this resolution, and the motion passed 2-0. The resolution formalizes the county’s approach to the proposed state budget allocation and supports continued coordination with Centralia on project scope and spending priorities.
