Wasco County is receiving a grant of just over 290-thousand dollars to do three-quarters-of-a-mile of improvements to the Tygh Valley-Wamic Road. The money is coming from the Federal Lands Access Program, and Commissioner Steve Kramer says the grant comes as a bit of a surprise, as the County thought it was no longer in the running for it. The work will involve new pavement, guardrails, and signs, extending improvements done to another piece of the road last year. Kramer noted grants like this one are crucial for the County to get needed road work done.
