Another goal is to increase the economic development potential of the North 1<sup>st<\/sup> Street corridor, one of the city\u2019s main entrances,\u201d said Communications &amp; Public Affairs Director Randy Beehler. \u201cWe appreciate the community\u2019s patience and understanding during Phase 3 of this vital project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phase 3 is expected to cost about $11.7 million. It is being paid for with approximately $9.8 million in federal funds and $1.5 million in state funds. The remainder is paid for with a combination of Transportation Benefit District funds (a $20 annual car tab fee adopted by the Yakima City Council during its 2018 budget process) as well as local utilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phase 2 was completed and approved for acceptance by the Yakima City Council on May 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, 2023. The cost for Phase 2 was about $2.6 million. It was funded through a combination of water, sewer and stormwater funds and $20 annual car tab fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phase 1 of the North 1<sup>st<\/sup> Street Revitalization Project was completed in December 2019. It included improvements between Highway 12 to the north and N Street to the south. It cost about $3.3 million and funded mostly with federal and state funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more about North 1<sup>st<\/sup> Street revitalization call Utility Project Manager Dana Kallevig at 509-249-6813.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular updates on the progress of Phase 3 will be provided through the City\u2019s various communications platforms including the City website, City social media sites, news releases and Y-PAC programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a dedicated banner page about Phase 3 atop the City of Yakima website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/\">https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/phase-3-map.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/phase-3-map.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14004\" style=\"width:727px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/phase-3-map.png 825w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/phase-3-map-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/phase-3-map-768x479.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-f5328b94-72fc-40e1-8367-ebf72a1e1fc5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/North-1st-Street-Revitalization-Phase-3-News-Release.pdf\">North-1st-Street-Revitalization-Phase-3-News-Release<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/North-1st-Street-Revitalization-Phase-3-News-Release.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-f5328b94-72fc-40e1-8367-ebf72a1e1fc5\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third of three phases for the North 1st Street Revitalization Project will begin Monday, February 5th.
