Eminent domain approved for Stevens Drive extension project

“Richard Richter has a vested interest in the development around Stevens Drive. He heads up George Grant Construction.

“At first, we were a little concerned because it went right down the middle of our storage yard,” said Richter.

Richard looks over the plans. The $2.8 million project is the first phase of Richland’s larger vision to put in a “Duportail Bridge” across the Yakima River.

This first portion of the project will create a multi-lane extension of Stevens Drive, first intersecting, then running nearly parallel to Wellsian Way by the Richland Fred Meyer. The area has long been a cause of traffic concerns.”
