Green River Sets Priorities For Next Two Years

Last week, the Green River City Council agreed upon a possible expansion of the city's Splash Park near Expedition Island. Residents originally brought the idea to the council at a public summit. While the project was voted to be included on the city's list of goals for 2012, that doesn't mean the city will fund an expansion project during the next budget session. The city voted to place a number of projects and issues as its top priority and high priority targets during the next two years. Top priority issues include street rehabilitation and replacement, the Union Pacific Depot, city facilities and building maintenance and finding direction and land acquisition along the Green River corridor. High priority projects, including the possible splash park expansion, are funding for community events, a workforce analysis, moving forward with the city's branding plan, an impact fee study and continuing work with the second phase of the city's master water plan.
