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.

With the new renovated Business Building at CBC in Pasco, Washington, the construction was a mix of new environmentally friendly with a look into the past, which included keeping a portion of a brick wall from the original structure built back in the 1950′s.

In CBC’s new Business Building, you can see some new flat-screened monitors which will show about the building project. Fall classes will start on September 21st at Columbia Basin College in Pasco, Washington.
