I <br />recommend we pursue additional funding to continue advancing <br />our RV Park project and maintain the momentum we've built. <br />Given the matching funds we have available and the visible <br />progress made during the initial grant phase, I'm optimistic that <br />WSDA will view this project favorably and continue to support its <br />development. <br />While I'll also be identifying a backup proposal based on other <br />facility needs, the RV Park remains a high priority due to its <br />potential to generate meaningful revenue for the grounds. <br />INTERACTION: Kittitas Valley Event Center <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />ACTION REQUESTED: General support to move forward with the grant application. <br />LEAD STAFF: Kady Porterfield, Kittitas Valley Event Center Director <br />
