Grant to CBC to benefit Pasco downtown revitalization

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

A new grant from HUD’s Hispanic Serving Institutions Assisting Communities program will be used by Pasco’s Columbia Basin College to work with groups in the community towards downtown Pasco revitalization.

The $600,000 grant will be used towards improving the appearance of some storefronts and additionally providing marketing plans and support training to business owners. The focus is to make downtown Pasco a more inviting environment for shoppers and for events in which the community can participate.
