Pullman outlines plans for its future
By JOSH BABCOCK of the Lewiston Trib Feb
14, 2018
PULLMAN - After more than a year of
narrowing down projects, a group that includes residents and the Pullman
Chamber of Commerce has identified the first 22 it plans to tackle.
Pullman 2040, which describes itself as
a chamber initiative and community group dedicated to developing a collective
vision to enhance the city, solicited comments from more than 1,200 residents.
The projects range from revitalizing
downtown, to constructing a south bypass around Pullman, to expanding internet
broadband coverage, to implementing a community identity marketing and
communications plan.
Dozens of city, county and university
officials and community members attended Tuesday night's 2040 rollout event at
Encounter Ministries, where every chair in the large room was filled.
The event included comments from
Washington State University President Kirk Schulz.
"We've hired five vice presidents
in the past year and a new athletic director, and I'm pleased they have all
elected to live in Pullman," Schulz said. "I think it's important
we're not living across the border. ... If you're in a community it gives you a
different perspective on working together."
Schulz said WSU plans to assist in the
2040 efforts, specifically to enhance downtown, including forming a downtown
association.
He said the university is already
expanding the WSU Museum of Art to downtown.
"That is just the beginning,"
Schulz said. "We want to make sure we have the best college town not just
in Washington state, but nationally."
Of the 22 projects identified,
revitalizing Pullman's downtown was one of the more frequently mentioned in the
1,200 public comments submitted, said Garren Shannon, a Pullman 2040 organizer
who works as an IT director at the Pullman School District.
Concerns regarding cleanliness, safety,
traffic, shopping opportunities, parking and entertainment downtown were addressed
in the public comments, Shannon said.
While some 2040 goals are in progress,
like the runway realignment at the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport, Shannon
said some of the projects could take decades.
He said revitalizing downtown relies on
construction of a south bypass to divert traffic.
"It's not something we're going to
try and get done tonight," he said. "It takes a community to
continuously talk to our legislators and get them to know these projects are
important."
Shannon said the group narrowed the
identified projects from a total of 60 projects.
He said while those 22 projects are the
highest priority, the remaining 38 projects will be addressed before 2040.
Shannon said Pullman 2040 is accepting donations to fund the projects,
including a GoFundMe account at www.gofundme.com/pullman-2040.
"I want a place my kids will come
back and live," Shannon said. "It has to be a future of the
community; that's what we're building."
