Agreement with King County helps Renton with Benson Hill to the tune of 1.7 Million

Jan13
2008 Written by Randy Corman

The King County Council has approved 1.7 million dollars of County funds to help us defray that costs of annexing the Benson Hill neighborhood. This was money we were counting on based on an agreement we had reached with the County last year, and the money is earmarked for new equipment, hiring, and other start-up costs related to Benson hill. So it is not exactly a windfall, but it will certainly help prevent existing Rentonites from having to take a hit in service as a result of the annexation.

Our City’s annexation specialist, Marty Wine, worked very hard to put this agreement in place. She did an outstanding job bringing this funding to us.
