KEPR-TV reports on West Richland growth

by Matt McGee on October 14, 2009 in West Richland Life, West Richland News

KEPR-TV ran an interesting news report last night on West Richland’s growth — and how sales tax revenues are still lagging behind other sources. I think “poised for growth” is probably the best phrase to use. We’ve seen a lot of growth in recent years, including the new Bird Hill retail development, but city officials are saying we still don’t have balance. Here’s the KEPR story link, and I’ll put the video below.

West Richland: Triple the Population, But Not Triple the Revenue

    We’ve lived out in West Richland 17+ years and have seen alot of growth along with the new bridge over the river.
    What we need is more retail, have to drive to Kennewick most of the time to buy anything. Target,Wal-Mart and Home Depot are Richland.
    We don’t even have a fast food place in West Richland, like Burger King.
    It’s sad to see that building sitting empty since it was built out on Kennedy and Bombing Range. We need more business and retail here. Also walk-in medical clinic, rather than driving into Richland or Kennewick.

    Couldn’t agree with you more on all counts. Richland was very, very smart to put those retail stores right on the edge of town and up against our border. I think it means others stores will be less likely to move into West Richland because those shopping centers are so close.
