Donation Recommended For Fountain Construction

The Columbia Gateway Urban Renewal Advisory Committee is recommending donating $100,000 dollars for development of an artistic fountain at Lewis and Clark Festival Park.  City officials have been working on the project for the last two years, and the Urban Renewal Agency had already promised the funds, which are in its current budget.  Projected costs have been reduced over time to just over $187,000, with a private donation of $87,500 in hand.  Cost savings were achieved through donated material from Wasco County and the Northern Wasco County Parks and Recreation District, and donated labor from local contractor Monte Wasson Excavation.  Plans call for the project to be finished in time for a July 4 dedication.  The recommendation goes to the Urban Renewal Agency board, made up of The Dalles City Council.
