City Administrator Mike Ristelho said multiple housing projects are moving forward in and around College Place.

Ristelho said homes at Mill Creek (part of the Villages/Garrison Creek development) are under construction as the final two phases begin. He said the long-dormant Villages of Fort Walla Walla apartment development, by the Farrin Group, has financing in place and that two apartment buildings plus a clubhouse may be constructed this summer. Ristelho also said College Holdings/Lakeside Group is preparing an application for a development on the Craig Christiansen property off Regina Road; once the community development director deems the application complete, a hearing examiner process with public notices will follow.

Ristelho said the city needs a variety of housing types and encouraged residents to watch for public notices related to development hearings this summer.
