This year figures to be a big planning year for a long-awaited repaving on Jewett Boulevard through White Salmon. Mayor Marla Keethler says the Washington State Department of Transportation project was supposed to start in 2020 but got pushed back. She says the hope this year is that the City will integrate the public feedback it has gathered on what citizens want to see in the project, and provide a jumpstart for the state’s outreach work. Keethler hopes the state can do the project in 2026.
