Yelm Secures Funding to Finish Mossman-Longmire Connection
Finally! We have pursued this for many years.
However, this is still awhile off. Quoting the story, “The city also plans on utilizing the grant funds possibly as match money to secure more grants in the future, with hopes of finishing the project with little-to-no cost to the city.” Yelm does not have the resources to currently complete the job with declining revenues during the pandemic, without doing major damage to the budget and the public’s interests.
