VANCOUVER – All comments are welcomed and encouraged regarding a Finding of No Significant Impact and Request for Release of Funds to the U.S. Department of Housing and Development for improvements proposed to Hamllik Park located in Washougal.
The city of Washougal is proposing to use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program funds to make improvements at Hamllik Park, located at 4285 Addy St. Improvements include construction of a new basketball court, replace missing components of the bike skills course, upgrade ADA access by repairing and adding sidewalks and ramps as needed and repairs to the baseball dugout. The project is estimated to cost $226,000, with $179,000 from the CDBG program.
