Klickitat County Commissioners Talk Child Care In Workshop

Klickitat County Commissioners discussed child care during a workshop Tuesday morning attended by various local and state officials and advocates.  The County is considered a “child care desert.”  Klickitat County Child Care Committee Program Coordinator Johanna Roe said the lack of available child care isn’t just a problem for parents, but for the County’s businesses and economy as a whole.  A wide range of ideas were provided, ranging from using sales tax monies to begin to build more child care options to removing some of the bureaucratic hurdles to establishing a child care business.  But many in the discussion pointed out affordability for the parents has to be addressed.
