Farmers Market changes location … again, plus news on car tabs
I just got an e-mail informing me that The Wenatchee Valley Farmers Market is changing locations. The market, which is set to open May 10, will be located in the parking lot behind the Applewood Grill adjacent to the railroad tracks.
In January it was announced that the market will be relocating to a block on Columbia Street between First and Palouse streets due to construction on Riverside Drive. No word on why the most recent change in the change of location was made. You can read the announcement here.
Also, I got word that Wenatchee’s City Council will likely postpone making a decision on whether to increase vehicle tabs by $20 to some time next year.
The city’s plan involves holding multiple community meetings in areas where projects that would be funded by the increase are to take place. The public feedback would be gathered and presented to the Council at a later date. After the community meetings the city could decide to eliminate some projects depending on public feedback.
I was told next year the council will likely make a decision on whether to take a councilmatic vote on the increase (which would likely be an unpopular decision despite the community meetings), put the increase on the ballot (which would cost the city a non-recoverable $30,000) or do nothing at all.
Expect to read full stories about these topics in tomorrow’s paper.
