Hotels, Demolitions, Environmental Assessments – Wenatchee Economic Update
Steve King is the Economic Development Director for the City of Wenatchee. He talks today about new hotels coming to the waterfront, re-development of North Wenatchee properties – including some demolitions this month – and Wenatchee River environmental assessments underway.
What is going to happen to WSDOT’s old Art Deco admin building? Is it going to be torn down, too, or will it be preserved?
All the old WSDOT buildings will eventually be torn down (likely 2021 or 22). There’s a chance the DOT will have the demo crew (hired by the city of Wenatchee) try to save the original sign above the front door. But the city has plans to redevelop the land – could be hotels, apartments, car dealership, etc.
