Attached for your consideration is the <br />City of Cie Elum's Phase 3C south block improvements between Pennsylvania Avenue and Harris <br />Avenue, including the southeast corner of the First Street and Harris Avenue intersection. This <br />project will create critical public and private utility system connections necessary to construct all <br />proposed improvements between the previous Phase 3A and Phase 3B project limits, as well as <br />complete the City's revitalization vision, previously expressed only in pen -and -ink concept <br />drawings, along another block of our downtown. <br />Our total funding request for the First Street Revitalization Phase 3C — Pennsylvania Avenue <br />to Harris Avenue project is $756,684, with a City match of $85,000. <br />The application and attachments convey our pride in the strides we have made so far to make <br />our revitalized downtown a reality, as well as our desire to continue construction for all of Phase <br />3. We have greatly benefitted from Kittitas County grant programs in the past and look forward to <br />the potential of continuing our partnership on the Downtown Revitalization. Let's keep the <br />momentum going! <br />Thank you again for this opportunity. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact <br />me at (509) 674-2262. <br />Sincerely, <br />c <br />Jay Mc owan <br />Mayor <br />
