Envision Kalama seeks $40,000 to refresh 25‑year community action plan
Summary
Envision Kalama asked commissioners for $40,000 from the county to update Kalama’s 25‑year community action plan; the $55,000 project would engage residents and leaders and is intended to steer local improvements and branding.
A representative of Envision Kalama told the board the nonprofit and Calus Economic Development Council propose a $55,000 project to create a refreshed Kalama Community Action Plan and asked the county for a $40,000 contribution with $15,000 in local match.
The presenter—speaking on behalf of Envision Kalama and noting Calus EDC would serve as fiscal agent—said the original plan produced over two dozen completed projects and that the new planning effort will engage a broad cross section of residents and thought leaders to build a community vision for the next 25 years for the 98625 area.
"It's a very small investment for a massive amount of impact," the presenter said, arguing the planning work helps the community coordinate future developments and branding.
The board heard no objections and thanked the presenters; commissioners said staff will consider the request in the ongoing review of applicants.
