8. Explain how the infrastructure project will helpmeet the economic development goals of your community andfor region. If this project is not done, will the anticipated private development still take place? This project helps meet the economic goals of the community by preserving a building that has a proven history of success and is consistent with the economic development goals of both the City of Ellensburg and the County comprehensive pians. If the project is not completed there will be continued deterioration of the roof resulting in damages to the facility and work tools/product of the tenants. This will lead to the loss of tenants and the inability to find new tenants for the building. We have not identified alternate sources of funding for the roof replacement. Without this funding a less permanent repair will need to be implemented for the short-term utilizing the matching funds EBDA and City have committed to this project, which is not the best use of public funds as it is just a band aid and not a long-term solution. 9.
