Lazy K Park and Housing Project (West Tomichi)
The Lazy K Playgound is open. Stope by and enjoy the new playground equipment and take a walk to the river on the new rec path before winter sets in! Look for a full park grand opening Spring of 2023 with the completion of the rec path, open restrooms, and a multipurpose grass field.
Infrastructure for the Lazy K Housing Project, including streets and utility installation are complete. Construction of housing units is ongoing.

The Palisades Road & Drainage Improvement Project was split between two calendar years. The first phase took place in 2021 and consisted of realignment and added safety improvements to the intersection of 11th and Quartz Streets and Spencer Avenue. The second phase of the project was completed in October of 2022 and consisted of paving and rehabilitation of streets, installation of new curb & gutter, valley pans, ADA Ramps, tree removal, drainage improvements, and landscaping repairs to disturbed areas in the Palisades Subdivision.
Ohio Avenue Multimodal Project
This project went out to bid on November 3, 2022 with bidding to close on December 8, 2022.
The City hopes to have a contractor hired by January 2023 with construction to start as soon as the weather allows.
In July of 2022 the City was awarded an additional $760,000 in grant funding in order to complete the project and cover rapidly escalating construction costs.
