YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC
YAKIMA -- When the "A Street Buildings" in downtown Yakima come down this year, something will have to go in their place.
Yakima County, which owns the row of century-old buildings at the corner of Second and A streets, expects today to get approval from county commissioners to approve contract negotiations with landscape designers to determine just what that will be.
County commissioners last year decided to create "green space" at the site, but the specifics have not been decided. The county does not know how much money the design will cost, said Brad Songhurst, the county's facilities director.
"We're not looking to spend very much," he said.
The county is likely to seek input from downtown advocates and stakeholders, Songhurst said. Eventually, the site is expected to be used for a county building but that is at least 10 years off.
