Bingen Seeking State Grant For Humboldt Street

The City of Bingen is getting ready to submit an application to the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board to do renovations on a part of Humboldt Street.  Mayor Betty Barnes says the project would be in the 200 and 300 blocks of Humboldt, which is a main artery one block from Highway 14.  Bingen plans to apply for a $654,000 grant from the state, with the City providing a five percent match of 35-thousand dollars.  The Bingen City Council will consider the application at their meeting this evening at seven in City Hall.
