Business and civic leaders from Kent visited Olympia on Thursday to advocate for the city's priorities and meet with Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, who represents Kent in the 45th Legislative District.
“Breaking ground on this park is the result of a great deal of work by community members who had a vision to improve our region and are making it happen,” said Sen. Fain (R-Auburn), who secured a $650,000 grant for the park in the state’s 2013 capital budget. “Providing opportunities for families to recreate is vitally important to this growing area. I cannot wait to see the incredible community asset this park will be for many years."
