This project <br />completes all revitalization efforts for the westernmost block of the Downtown Revitalization corridor. <br />Completion of Phase 3A will bring to life in the built environment an entire City block of the City's <br />revitalization vision previously expressed in pen -and -ink concept drawings. <br />Attached to the application is a map showing the location of the proposed improvements and <br />conceptual design. <br />Our total request for Phase 3A of the First Street Downtown Revitalization project is $450,460. <br />As a small community with limited resources, it is critical we maintain our existing transportation <br />infrastructure, expand opportunities for the community to choose walking and bicycling for nearby daily <br />trips, and make those expanded opportunities safe and visible. Cie Elum has greatly benefitted from <br />Kittitas County grant programs and your consideration of this application is truly appreciated. Let's keep <br />the momentum going! <br />Thank you again for this opportunity. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at <br />(509)674-2262. <br />Sincerely, <br />cGjfCE4 <br />Jay McGowan <br />Mayor <br />
