YOUR PROJECT
What is your"Public Facilities" project?
Please provide a brief description of your project in the expandable box below.
The City of Port Townsend is undertaking a project that involves a collaboration between the
public and private sectors to install a regional stormwater facility for commercial/industrial
projects area on the Rainier Street Corridor from Discovery Road to South of SR 20 (Sims
Way). With the poor soils in the core of this commercial district, valuable available land would
be required to detain and treat stormwater runoff. Creating a regional detention option allows for
maximum utilization of the developable land in the core areas of the Work District. The regional
detention/infiltration system is to be installed just outside the City limits adjacent to Mill Road
where sandy soils allow for infiltration of stormwater. After completion, benfitting properties
can"buy into"the system. City streets comprise approximately 50% of the runoff area;
therefore, approximately 50%of the project cost can be recovered in the future through charges
to benefitting properties.
To date, the City has purchased property for the stormwater facility, has completed all field
work, coordinated with County on required field testing work and is nearly complete with plans
and specification bid documents. The project is "shovel ready" to move to construction for
completion by October of this year. The project is funded in large part by a CERB loan, along
with a city match from the stormwater utility. The City needs additional funding to complete
the construction phase; PIF funding would make up the needed difference and reduce the cost to
benefiting properties by approximately 20%.

How Will This Project Create Or Retain Business Or Jobs? Use expandable box below.
Description:
The project will allow property owners in the benefit area to fully build out their properties
zoned as manufacturing and commercial, rather than dedicating a large portion of the
valuable site to stormwater detention faciities. Street frontage improvements and water and
sewer lines have already been extended to these properties. Having the full infrastructure in
place, including the construction of the regional stormwater facility, will stimulate future
economic growth and provide the facilities for businesses to locate, expand, develop and
create employment opportunities for employees of all skill levels, from entry to executive.
Number and Types of Jobs or Businesses anticipated?
#of Jobs during Construction: Construction is expected to last 4 months with an expected 10
to 15 employees.
After Construction: by year 3 I by year 5
